Any type of healthcare practitioner stands to gain expanded healing potential, including physicians, nurses, therapists, acupunturists, chiropractors, and naturopaths. The foundational wisdom imparted by Deepak Chopra M.D. combined with practical application techniques taught by David Simon, M.D. and other special guest teachers will allow you to bring an intuitive mind-body awareness into your daily life to heal yourself and those around you.

Healthcare providers experience Ayurvedic Knowledge Workshop/Case Study Development and learn practical and clinical applications of Ayurveda and discover mind-body medicine in a comprehensive workshop environment. Working directly with Dr. David Simon, individual study groups will review a variety of medical case studies including: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pain syndromes, diabetes mellitus, and cancer.
