Dr Donald Abrams at UCSF and Dr Lise Alschuler at the University of Arizona and the Andrew Weil Center, really got me hooked into the area. I was very taken with the approaches to improve the quality of life of cancer patients. I felt that the best way to be educated was to embark on a fellowship. I was very fortunate that the Schiff Foundation, when I was at the University of Cincinnati, paid for me to do the fellowship in integrative medicine.
The other week is going to be on mindfulness. We have a mindfulness expert, who's funded by the National Institutes of Health in the area, talking about this. Then we will break away and do mindfulness exercises and also talk about ways to implement mindfulness in each patient's lifestyle. I've found that it's not only useful from an integrative medicine standpoint, but also very useful as a support group. The groups of patients begin to know each other, some of them open up to each other, and then after the series is over, sometimes they connect with each other. I utilize a HIPAA-compliant Zoom platform, which is provided through the institution. So far, it has been very rewarding for me.That sounds wonderful.
