Earlier this year, teaching professor Dr. Jane Gair received a Convening and Collaborating Award from Michael Smith Health Research BC. Together with co-lead Dr. Mark Sherman and a multidisciplinary team that includes several IMP students, Dr. Gair is using the grant to develop a program of research focused on the use of mindfulness as an intervention for burnout in healthcare professionals.
The team is committed to partnering with healthcare professionals to co-develop this initiative.
The team is currently seeking Vancouver Island-based physicians, specialists, nurses, and other health professionals to participate in an upcoming engagement opportunity. The one half-day (4-hour) in-person engagement session will take place in the Medical Sciences Building at the University of Victoria on April 12, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Please click on the poster below to learn more about the engagement opportunity, including compensation.
If you are interested in participating, please email Dr. Gair (jgair@uvic.ca) or the team (physicianmindfulness@gmail.com) by March 1, 2025.
