Mindful Meditation, Shared Dialogues Reduce Physician Burnout

Donald Rubbo asks, “Who will heal the healers?” This is why he is focusing on teaching health care professionals how to re-invigorate themselves, their practice, serve their patients with renewed purpose, and live their authentic nature.

Training in meditation and mindful communication (meditation in action) was found to reduce the stress and burnout experienced by many physicians and improved their overall well-being, University of Rochester Medical Center researchers report in this week’s issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).  

The study further found that meditation training can expand a physician’s capacity to relate to patients and enhance patient care, according to Michael S. Krasner, M.D., associate professor of Clinical Medicine and his team of researchers.

These inspirational mind/body/spirit techniques are taught by Donald Rubbo, social entrepreneur and author of Extraordinary Breath, Making the Power of Deep Breathing Work for You. Mind-body expert Bernie Siegel, MD, has endorsed Donald’s book, which is incorporated into Donald’s work of bringing mindfulness and passion back into the health care profession.  

Understanding that each person brings their own unique skills, perceptions and personal needs to their work, Donald connects with each person on an individual basis. He teaches how to minimize weaknesses and build on strengths.

 “My practice has taken a quantum leap since I incorporated Donald Rubbo’s teachings into myself.”  Elaine H. , Acupuncturist

“Thank you for making the learning process a ‘beautiful game’ full of joy, humor and reverence for the old wisdom. And thank you for the healing you performed on me.” Claudia T. , Reiki Master

Donald Rubbo has taught extensively on shifting the paradigm of health, including Marin General Hospital, Kaiser Hospital, VA Hospital San Francisco, Pine Street Clinic Chinese Medical Health Screening,  Institut für Chinesische Medizin (Switzerland), and the Commonwealth Club of California.

Donald draws on 30 years of practicing transformational arts and guides health care providers in experiencing a shift in perception in an exciting healing modality: how focused intent will restore themselves, and therefore their clients, to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. He teaches nationally and internationally.
