- Abstract: Mindfulness can be defined as awareness of physical and psychological processes in a nonjudgmental way. The purpose of adapting the ideas of mindfulness in health professions education is twofold. First, mindfulness education can develop stress management skills and self-care ability. Consequently, it can promote personal and professional identity formation. Second, mindfulness education can urge future healthcare professionals to improve the quality of patient care. Thus, this article will present practical reports from three medical schools that introduced mindfulness education for developing stress management skills and improving patient care and then discuss how universities can establish mindfulness education for future healthcare professions.
