Well-being was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Participants were also asked about engagement in mindfulness practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At baseline, 80% of participants reported moderate to high stress, with a mean PSS score of 19.6. This decreased to 14.0 at 3 months (P &amp;lt; 0.001). Baseline MBI scores indicated high emotional exhaustion (EE) (21.2) and depersonalisation (DP) (12.4). At 3 months, EE decreased to 16.4 (P = 0.036) and DP to 9.9 (P = 0.20). Personal accomplishment increased from 37.5 to 40.6 (P = 0.033). Participants engaging in mindfulness practices weekly or more frequently increased from 43% at baseline to 71% at 3 months (P = 0.012).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participation in a 3-day Mindful Medicine Workshop was associated with reduced perceived stress and emotional exhaustion, and increased personal accomplishment and engagement in mindfulness practices at 3 months.
