Mindfulness in Medicine: Tools You Can Use & Teach

Thursday, November 13, 2025
5:30 PM – 7:30 PM

EPCMS @ Pikes Peak United Way

518 N Nevada Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903

Mindfulness isn’t just for you — it’s for those you care for.
Join us for an evening of community, dinner, and evidence-based strategies that sharpen diagnostic abilities while giving you practical tools to share with patients, families, and friends. Learn how mindfulness can reduce errors, improve focus, and expand your impact beyond the clinic walls.

Pikes Peak Suicide Prevention and Voices of Grief will be in attendance to provide on-site support and resources. EPCMS also recognizes the sudden passing of Dr. Nathan Trookman, and this event is dedicated as a space for reflection, connection, and healing. We invite all who are seeking community or emotional support to attend.

What you’ll take away:

Learn mindfulness techniques to increase quality of care
You know the science — get the tools to use and to teach
Techniques founded on results from studies
Easy-to-teach strategies for patients, families, and colleagues
Deploy mindfulness practices to reduce errors and improve outcomes
Leave with ready-to-implement tools, articles, and resources for both personal and patient use
