Once again physicians Mick Krasner and Ron Epstein are offering mindfulness classes for people who work in medical education, including, but not limited to, medical doctors. Click to read about past events. Their courses are always over-subscribed so sign up right away if you are interested. I am not aware of such popular classes offered on a regular basis for legal educators, are you? If so, let me know and I will blog about them.
