Advanced Physician Wellness Course

The Advanced Physician Wellness (APW) Program has been taught to hundreds of physicians in the US and around the world (AdvancedPhysicianWellness.org). It is regularly offered to Kaiser Permanente (one of the largest HMOs in the US) physicians and residents in several residency programs (Michigan State Medicine since 2009).
