Testimonials
"Journey into Healing takes you from the realm of Western medicine into new frontiers and awareness and leaves you feeling empowered instead of helpless in an era when health care has become unaffordable for the majority. It shatters the illusion that medical intervention is the only way to stay healthy. Ayurveda reminds me that a majority of the world rely on alternative medicine for healthcare and wellbeing."

In the past decade, the popularity of complementary medicine has soared.

Journey into Healing is an opportunity for doctors and other health care providers to deepen their understanding of integrative medicine in a stimulating immersion course led by Deepak Chopra, M.D. and panel of other leading experts.
Lecture topics include:
- Herbal medicine and its applications for health and healing
- Digestion, optimal nutrition, and conscious eating
- Ayurvedic approaches to common health conditions
- Enlivening health through the five senses
- Identifying an individual’s mind-body type (dosha) and current imbalances
- The role of emotions in health and healing
Journey into Healing offers instruction in powerful tools and techniques that both physicians and patients can use to create greater health, balance, and fulfillment in their daily lives.

Course Description and Objectives
Clinicians are increasingly called upon to advise patients on health approaches not commonly taught in conventional medical training programs. Journey Into Healing explores a theoretical framework that enables physicians and health providers to evaluate the appropriate role of complementary medicine, from both a traditional and scientific perspective. Topics covered include psychoneuroimmunology, stress management techniques, nutritional components of illness, evidence-based herbal medicine, and mind body approaches in heart disease, cancer, addiction, and digestive disorders.
Objectives:
- The ability to take a lifestyle history.
- How to apply evidence-based criteria to holistic health approaches
- The development of a theoretical framework to view alternative and complementary medical interventions.
- Recognition of the role of emotional and psychological states on physical illness.
- Familiarity with basic holistic technologies that can complement standard medical care.
Needs Assessment
Numerous studies have demonstrated that over 50% of the American population utilizes some form of unconventional health care service. Physicians need to be familiar with these approaches in order to practice quality medicine. The content of this educational program was determined by assessment of educational need and includes program feedback, expert faculty assessment, literature review, and medical practice.
Cultural and Linguistic Competency
California Assembly Bill 1195 requires continuing medical education activities with patient care components to include curriculum in the subjects of cultural and linguistic competency. It is the intent of the bill, which went into effect on July 1, 2006, to encourage physicians and surgeons, CME providers in the state of California, and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to meet the cultural and linguistic concerns of a diverse patient population through appropriate professional development. The planners, speakers and authors of this CME activity have been encouraged to address issues relevant in their topic area. In addition, a variety of resources are available that address cultural and linguistic competency, some of which are included in your syllabus or handout materials. Additional resources and information about AB1195 can be found on our website.
Please note, transportation & accommodations are not included.
