DescInstitute for the Study of Health & Illness: In the current fiscal year the Institute for the Study of Health & Illness (ISHI), founded by Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, offered programs for health care professionals who wish to renew their passion for their calling, form authentic community with colleagues, and live by the service values that have motivated physicians, nurses, and other clinicians through the ages. ISHIs current programs include: The Healers Art, offered in 86+ medical schools in the U.S. and eight countries abroad, enabled young medical students to explore their calling to the practice of medicine as their life work. ISHIs Continuing Medical Education Programs provided postgraduate education for healthcare professionals who aspire to practice a medicine of service, human connection, and compassionate healing. Through experiential processes clinicians are enabled to re-discover their passion for their profession. Finding Meaning Conversation Groups enabled healthcare professionals to self-organize and connect with one another in authentic conversation by sharing stories drawn from their own experience. This process enables colleagues to form a supportive community based on a shared vocation and life work. Remembering the Heart of Medicine (www.theheartofmedicine.org) is ISHIs website for physicians. In various discussion forums any doctor at any time can join other doctors worldwide to speak from their heart to their colleagues, renew their commitment to their patients, find innovative approaches to self-care, and have an experience of joining in an expanded community of physician healers.Desc
