Virtual mindfulness training that fits your schedule. And understands your life.

You've been meaning to try out mindfulness to help you get through medical training, but the groups you find either a) don't fit your chaotic schedule, and/or b) seem a little out-of-touch with your reality.

You want a mindfulness group that understands the unique experience of being in medical training.

Created and led by a psychiatrist. Free for all medical trainees in British Columbia. 🇨🇦
