- What does it means to practice mindfully, and why does that matter? While intended for clinicians in health care, this Medical Center Hour with physician-author Ronald Epstein has potential applications for any professional who seeks to be a reflective practitioner. Mindful practice refers to a quality of mind that includes self-awareness, self-monitoring, and self-regulation and leads to greater attentiveness, curiosity, flexibility, and presence. Mindful clinicians provide higher quality care, make fewer errors, form stronger bonds with patients, listen more effectively, and are less subject to cognitive biases in decision-making and implicit racial and gender bias.
