NM9511 Mind/Body Medicine
This course reviews the theoretical and clinical application of mind-body techniques with emphasis on integration with biofeedback and holistic health care. Not only are a variety of modalities/instrumentation explored and demonstrated (including electromyograph [EMG], electrodermograph [EDG], thermal, heart rate variability and respiration biofeedback), but also several mind-body techniques are introduced (such as breath retraining, progressive muscles relaxation, autogenics, meditation and guided visualization). Students may take advantage of in-class experience with biofeedback monitoring as well as supervised practice in attaching sensors and operating equipment. This course acts to fulfill the classroom requirements necessary to take an Integrated Mind-body Medicine shift at BCNH. With an additional 20 hours of supervised cases, students are eligible to sit for the BCIA Certification exam.
