This study, published in JAMA, sought to determine whether an intensive educational program in mindfulness, communication, and self-awareness is associated with improvement in primary care physicians’ well-being, psychological distress, burnout, and capacity for relating to patients. The researchers conducted a before-and-after study of 70 primary care physicians in Rochester, New York, in a continuing medical education that included mindfulness meditation, self-awareness exercises, narratives about meaningful clinical experiences, appreciative interviews, didactic material, and discussion. Results indicated that participation in the program was associated with short-term and sustained improvements in well-being and attitudes associated with patient-centered care.
