Two “prophets of Mind-Body Medicine” appeared together on the same stage to open the Benson-Henry Mind-Body Institute’s (BHI) annual CME Conference. Herbert Benson, MD and Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD earned a standing ovation November 5th after discussing their groundbreaking work and experiences over 40+ years advocating for mind body health.
“It is such an honor to have two prophets of mind-body medicine here to talk about the work they have been advocating for for so long,” said BHI Executive Director Gregory L. Fricchione. “The world is catching up to their vision, and this is a historic occasion.”
The four-day conference at Harvard Medical School provided more than 400 integrative medicine practitioners from across the globe an opportunity to explore cutting edge research, share best practices and discover new strategies for treating patients.
