We are here to support you through your Residency and Fellowship journeys. Our role is to provide health and wellness resources and facilitate an environment in which you and your colleagues can be and stay well as you navigate the opportunities and challenges that Residency and Fellowship will bring.

## Introduction to Mindful Practice in Medicine

Energize your clinical practice and reignite joy in medicine at our popular Mindful Practice in Medicine workshop and retreat at Ghost River in May 2026!

This three-day workshop with the Centre of Mindfulness uses tools like appreciative inquiry, narrative medicine, and insight dialogue to address some of the most common clinical challenges we face in our daily work. We will practice using mindfulness-based strategies to navigate stressful situations and improve the quality of the care we provide.
