Description
Integrative medicine is a field that has been growing in the last few decades as a humane whole-person approach, including body, mind, and spirit. For the past 25 years, MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Integrative Medicine Center has been a pioneer in Integrative oncology, and understanding that, most importantly, a patient is a person—with dignity as a central value.
Trained in Tibetan mind-body yogic practices in monasteries in India and Nepal, Dr. Alejandro Chaoul has brought these practices to MD Anderson, through education, clinic and research, showing benefits in health and wellbeing, and spirituality. This presentation will be informed by the frameworks of integrative medicine, medical humanities, and a Buddhist perspective where we are all inter-connected by our shared humanity, and our potentiality of becoming enlightened (or the similar spiritual development category that makes sense to each person).
