About the Training
Mind-Body Medicine Fundamentals is CMBM’s core program we’ve offered around the world for 20 years, providing health professionals with the tools they need to become more effective clinicians and to find more meaning in their work. During the intensive 5-day training, our extraordinary faculty teaches the science of mind-body medicine in plenary sessions and techniques for self-awareness and self-expression in supportive small groups — CMBM’s unique model for learning and support.
The comprehensive materials and hands-on experience will prepare you to begin to integrate our mind-body model into your work in a wide variety of settings, including private practice with individuals and groups, hospital work, educational programs and work with populations affected by war, abuse, terrorism and other forms of trauma. We’ve trained thousands of health professionals who are serving millions of people. It would be our privilege and joy to work with you.
