Mindfulness & Compassion Certificate Training

The Mindfulness and Compassion training that is co-facilitated by Agnes Wong, MD, PhD, FRCSC will be offered again in January 2022. It consists of 5-weekend modules spread over 9 months that are entirely online.

Learning Objectives

The course provides guidance and support for healthcare professionals to cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and self-compassion. It also covers essential topics, including systems thinking, non-violent communication, and integrity, that are critical for our well-being as we work in a highly complex healthcare environment. It is also an excellent opportunity to meet like-minded people to share their experiences and learn and grow together in a supportive and safe environment.

Several colleagues participated in this course this past year, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
