We present an innovative program to develop faculty and health professional</span><span style="font-size: medium;">  </span><span style="font-size: medium;">skills in reflective practice and resilience, which strengthen participants’ ability to act as effective clinicians, educators, role models, and leaders. The basis of the curriculum</span><span style="font-size: medium;">  </span><span style="font-size: medium;">rests in the neuroscience of mindfulness</span><span style="font-size: medium;">  </span><span style="font-size: medium;">and its applications. This program was enabled through a unique partnership between acute care hospitals (Hamilton Health Sciences and St Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton), Family Health Teams (McMaster Family Health Team and Hamilton Family Health Team) and the McMaster Faculty of Health Sciences Program for Faculty Development (PFD), with additional funding support in 2013 from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOH-LTC). Data from 2013 course participants (validated measurement</span><span style="font-size: medium;">  </span><span style="font-size: medium;">tools and qualitative feedback) was analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of this initiative. This poster outlines the journey of this work and a summary of the data gathered to inform further education.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></p>}, number={1}, journal={The International Journal of Whole Person Care}, author={Frolic, Andrea Nadine and Principi, Elaine and Taniguichi, Alan and Burgess, Ken and Spironello, Valerie and Wong, Anne}, year={2018}, month={Jan.} }
