Welcome to the Experiencing Mindful Awareness course filmed at Kampong Gardens in Miami Florida, a National Tropical Botanical Garden.  Created by the instructional design team at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine at Florida International University in Miami Florida and taught by Frank Anderson MD MPH, a physician and teacher of mindfulness.

For health care provides and students, these tools will help you become a more compassionate mindful provider.
