This course is designed to improve self-care among future healthcare providers for their own well-being as well as for the benefit of their future patients. Through a combination of didactic and experiential learning, students will gain an understanding of the importance and impact of key self-care practices. An emphasis will be placed on hands-on, practical approaches for making sustainable changes in diet, exercise, stress management, and sleep hygiene to reduce their risk of disease and promote health. As students are empowered with an enhanced capacity for self-care, it is expected that they will be more inclined, and better equipped, to implement these strategies when counseling future patients
