## What this page said

The Center for Training in Mind/Body Medicine said clinicians regularly meet patients for whom drugs or surgery are not effective and whose chronic and stress-related symptoms might be eased by mind/body interventions. It taught these methods through courses sponsored with Harvard Medical School and individually designed training in specific clinical areas, based on 35 years of work on the relaxation response.

The 2009 offerings included Clinical Training in Mind/Body Medicine, training in positive psychology, a one-day introductory course and a conference on spirituality and healing in medicine. The clinical course was a five-day program covering relaxation response, cognitive and behavioural strategies, movement, nutrition and belief, with continuing education credit for nurses and social workers. Pages for customised trainings, formats and FAQs sat beneath it. Dates and fees are historical.

## Key points from the original

- Courses ran with the Harvard Medical School Department of Continuing Education.
- The core course was five days covering five foundational elements.
- Customised one- and two-day trainings were available.
