This session will describe an elective designed to foster interest in primary care, in which second year medical students manage operations at a free clinic, establish a continuity relationship with patients, attend a class covering primary care topics, keep a reflective journal, and complete a community project. We evaluated the impact of this course by surveying a sample of 257 alumni who graduated between 2003 and 2007

There is growing empirical support for the usefulness of mindfulness and relaxation training for the stresses of medical practice and the enhancement of the professional performance of physicians. This presentation will describe an approach to self-regulation training that is a combination of deep relaxation, applied relaxation and mindfulness.
