ABOUT THE CONTEMPLATIVE MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP
Led by Fellowship Guiding Teachers Chodo Robert Campbell Sensei, GC-C and Koshin Paley Ellison Sensei, MFA, LMSW, DMIN, and Tieraona Low Dog, MD, the Fellowship's Medical Director, this program addresses the ongoing need for an approach to care that extends beyond the patient and their loved ones to include the clinicians themselves.
Designed for clinicians of multiple professions and care models, the Fellowship promotes interprofessional collaborative practice leading to improved cooperation, communication, and integration among care in teams.
Fellows learn how to transform the way they care for others, their loved ones, and themselves by drawing on the tradition of Zen—the experience of disciplined practice in a shared community.
Supported by two residential retreats, the online Fellowship training immerses participants in contemplative practice and engaged, experiential learning while supporting existing clinical responsibilities.
“As teachers, Chodo and Koshin have an uncanny ability to convey powerful messages in a dynamic, introspective, heartfelt, and humorous manner. Heart opened, compassion flowed. What a transformative experience for our medical fellows.”
