This program is open to faculty from all schools of health sciences. During the year we will explore integrative health practices and the evidence that exists for them. We will introduce the underlying theoretical basis for these modalities, and will include experiential components to each session. Applications are sent out electronically and are due in the Spring. Please keep in mind that space is limited. Participants will be notified by Summer of their acceptance.

The Mind-Body skills selective - UCONJ 531
This multidisciplinary course teaches multiple techniques of self-care to early medical and graduate nursing students. By learning and applying these techniques, it is anticipated that future care providers can reduce their own dissatisfaction, prevent burnout and therefore provide better care for their patients.  They will be made more aware of the mind-body connection and be armed with skills that they can then teach their patients.

Clinical Elective in CAM - FAMED 675P
Fourth year medical students rotate at the same time through four successive weekly clinical placements with CAM providers in Seattle - chiropractor, naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, and massage therapist (38 hours/week). Students will learn how alternative health care practitioners understand and explain to patients the dynamic between health and disease and the relationship between mind, body, and spirit.

Fundamentals of Hypnosis for beginners
Hypnosis has been recognized as a therapeutic tool by the American Medical Association since 1968.
