Beth Netter MD: Yoga Science Breathing Techniques Can Calm the Mind to Prevent and Relieve Physician Burnout

At the 10th annual American Meditation Institute (AMI) CME conference, holistic physician Beth Netter, MD will demonstrate Yoga Science breathing techniques that stimulate the vagus nerve to prevent and relieve burnout symptoms of anxiety and depression. Entitled “The Heart and Science of Yoga,” this comprehensive training in Yoga Science as holistic mind/body medicine October 23-27, 2018 at the Cranwell Resort and Spa in Lenox, Massachusetts, offers 32 CME credits, and is accredited through the Albany Medical College and the American Medical Association.

Dr. Netter’s “Breath as Medicine” presentation will address the importance of diaphragmatic breathing to optimize blood flow, provide sufficient oxygen to the body, improve heart-rate variability, and calm and focus the mind. The complete (three-part) yogic breath will be demonstrated and practiced by all conference attendees.

Presenter Beth Netter MD is a holistic physician in Albany, New York. She graduated from the University at Buffalo’s School of Biomedical Sciences and completed her residency in anesthesiology at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA. Dr. Netter is an AMI certified meditational therapist, and currently serves as Chair of the AMI Department of Medical Education.

Dr. Netter observes, “As physicians we’re taught that we need to care for ourselves in order to care for others, but there’s no real education in that. This CME conference on Yoga Science brings a 5,000-year-old educational body of knowledge into modern day life that’s user-friendly, time-tested and science-based. It’s a practical and doable program for dealing with the debilitating effects of stress, illness and burnout. This teaching helps physicians re-engage their lives, their families and their work with a new confidence and an alignment with who they truly are.”

Now in its tenth year of providing physicians continuing medical education credits, the entire “Heart and Science of Yoga” CME curriculum […]

In speaking of her personal experience with AMI MEDITATION, Goodemote notes, “This CME conference on Yoga Science is important for the future of healthcare because we, as providers, are moving toward population-based care.  This conference allows you to turn inward to understand how creative we can be when we just allow the mind to rest and meet its capacity.”

Physician Burnout Symptoms from the Stressors of Electronic Health Record Requirements Can be Relieved and Prevented by AMI MEDITATION Techniques

EHR stress

According to The American Meditation Institute founder Leonard Perlmutter, AMI MEDITATION techniques, that can relieve and prevent common physician burnout symptoms, will be taught at the 10th annual 32-credit hour mind/body medicine CME conference for physicians and other health care professionals.  Taking place October 23-27, 2018 at the Cranwell Resort and Spa in Lenox, Massachusetts, “The Heart and Science of Yoga” curriculum, which will provide comprehensive training in Yoga Science as holistic mind/body medicine for physicians and other healthcare professionals, is accredited through the Albany Medical College and the American Medical Association.

A 2017 article in Becker’s Hospital Review chronicled six reasons the administrative burden of Electronic Health Record (EHR) requirements have contributed to increased burnout symptoms among healthcare providers. In response to the comprehensive list that includes everything from click fatigue to tedious documentation requirements, Leonard Perlmutter acknowledges that the recent increase in EHR related administrative tasks has had a direct correlation to both the decrease in meaningful time interacting with patients, and the growing physician burnout epidemic.  According to Perlmutter, “Although the time-consuming requirements of EHRs are not going away, physicians can learn practical strategies—such as AMI MEDITATION and its allied disciplines—to transform their stress into creativity and strength.”  Then he adds, “The ‘Heart and Science of Yoga curriculum represents the world’s oldest and most effective holistic mind/body medicine to relieve and prevent burnout, heal disease, manage addictive habits, alleviate stress and inflammation, and balance life-work responsibilities.”

In support of The American Meditation Institute’s continuing medical education accreditation for physicians (through the Albany Medical College and the American Medical Association), AMI conducted a 2009 retrospective case study of participants who completed Leonard Perlmutter’s “Heart and Science of Yoga” course. The findings included these positive, […]

AMI MEDITATION Techniques Can Relieve and Prevent Physician Burnout

AVERILL PARK, NY – April 3, 2018

According to The American Meditation Institute founder Leonard Perlmutter, AMI MEDITATION techniques that can relieve and prevent physician burnout, will be taught at the 10th annual mind/body medicine CME conference October 23-27, 2018 at the Cranwell Resort and Spa in Lenox, Massachusetts. Entitled “The Heart and Science of Yoga,” this 10th annual comprehensive training in Yoga Science is designed to help identify, prevent and relieve stress and burnout currently being experienced by physicians and other healthcare professionals.

In 2009, in support of the American Meditation Institute’s continuing medical education accreditation for physicians (through the Albany Medical College and the American Medical Association), AMI conducted a retrospective case study of participants who completed Leonard Perlmutter’s “Heart and Science of Yoga” course. The findings included these positive, reproducible, long-term health-promoting changes: significant reductions in stress and fear, decreased anxiety and depression, lowered blood pressure, lowered heart rate, improved restorative sleep, improved energy levels, Increased creative capacity, diminishment of migraine headaches, elimination of irritable bowel syndrome, enhanced happiness and optimism, reduced cholesterol levels, diminished or extinguished acute and chronic pain, weight loss and increased breathing capacity.

Conference director Leonard Perlmutter claims that, “When a highly respected medical ethicist like Arthur Caplan PhD publicly states that physician burnout has become an “epidemic” in our nation, it’s a clarion call to earnestly examine the issues, and to initiate a meaningful strategy capable of reversing the current trend.” Then he concludes, “The ‘Heart and Science of Yoga curriculum represents the oldest and most effective holistic mind/body medicine to relieve and prevent burnout, heal disease, manage addictive habits, alleviate stress and inflammation, and balance life-work responsibilities.”

Upon completion of this conference, participants will be able to: 1. Demonstrate knowledge of how Yoga Science as mind/body medicine […]

Finding The Right Balance

Plate_spinner

As children, Jenness and I often watched Ed Sullivan’s “Toast of the Town” television show on Sunday nights. Among the performers we saw over the years, one old-time vaudevillian, named Erich Brenn, always held our attention, and we’ve thought about him often in relation to yoga science.

This performer had a rather simple act. Before him stood three long banquet tables. Secured to the tables were upright wooden dowels, each measuring about three feet in height. The performer proceeded to balance a spinning dinner plate atop one of the dowels on the table and kept it balanced by twirling the dowel. Then he balanced a second and a third plate. By the time he started to balance the fourth one, he had to run back to the first and re-twirl the dowel. And then he’d run to balance the fourth plate and a fifth plate and a sixth plate–until there were twenty or so! By the end of the act, to keep all his plates in the air simultaneously, he was dashing back and forth like a madman. Needless to say, it was a riveting sight.

That vaudevillian was a great teacher–a true guru. His act has taught us a lot about our own habits. When we were twenty, we said to ourselves, “We can do that,” and we
balanced a few plates in the air. When we were thirty, we said to ourselves, “We can do that, too,” and up went a few more. When we were forty, “We can do that.” When we were fifty, “We can do that.”

But as we entered middle age, we began to realize that a lot of our time was being spent just rushing to keep all […]
