See here for pandemic-related speaking engagements:

------------

You are part of a healthcare group or medical educational establishment. You are interested in training your students or medical practitioners to facilitate dynamic working practices that make them healthier, happier and more engaged.

You want to help move them beyond the superficial elements of patient satisfaction to a place where they can show up for their patients with authenticity and heart-centered empathy.

Speaking

I will deliver a lecture at your med school, professional group, residency, or conference, which I will tailor to the challenges of your particular specialty and institution.

Workshops

I will deliver an interactive, hands-on workshop where participants can learn the practical tools that will support them in their working practice (for example, meditation and awareness techniques).

Training Courses

I will train your medical professionals to use meditation, breathing and awareness techniques as hands-on practices for patient care and education.

Sample topics

Wendy’s speaking engagements are workshop style, in that they are part lecture and part experiential. There will be some lecture-style presentation always leading into first-hand experience with guided meditation practices, short writing exercises or paired discussions.

Here are some sample topics for grand rounds or workshops that have been well received in past:

- Visualization practice for learning procedural skills and overcoming real-time adversity
- Compassion training based on the G.R.A.C.E. model by Roshi Joan Halifax (this can be expanded into a multi-day workshop)
- Discussion of death and our own view on mortality that can affect patient care
- The importance of team mentality especially in residency and how we can support each other
- Recalling our purpose and intention for entering into medical practice as ground for our daily work
- Burnout and physician suicide awareness

We are always open to discussing the specific needs of your program or department and customize a workshop or lecture for your staff.
