  • Understand how the medical community has changed their training approach in response to very clear research that has demonstrated that mindfulness and empathy result in better outcomes for dental healthcare providers and their patients.

  • Demonstrate how prayer can be used in dental healthcare settings in ways that result in improved outcomes.
