Upcoming Lectures and Courses 2012 SAVE THE DATES Breath~Body~Mind® Workshop. Staten Island Jan 28-29, 2012 For firemen and other 9/11 First Responders and their families. Sponsored by Serving Those Who Serve: www.stws.org Richard P. Brown, MD, Associate Professor in Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, teaches advanced breath techniques and meditation to help stressed and traumatized people improve energy, sleep quality, stress resilience, and peace of mind as well as detoxify their bodies and regain harmony in their lives. His work is a unique fusion of ancient and modern mind-body techniques derived from Qigong, yoga, Christian monks, Coherent Breathing, Open Focus meditation, and martial arts. Dr. Brown feels that, “To be able to transform so many peoples’ lives in a short course has been a special blessing for me. I especially enjoy helping 9/11 responders and military veterans recover their lives.” Research has shown that extraordinary breathing techniques, like those taught by Dr. Brown, effectively relieve stress and improve energy, mental focus, heart and lung function and endurance. The benefits have been demonstrated in health care practitioners, 9/11 First Responders and Ground Zero workers, individuals with psychiatric and medical conditions, and victims of terrorism, war and natural disasters. Many people who have worked with Dr. Brown say they have been transformed, and that they never would have imagined that something so simple would have been so powerful and helpful.

A PhD trained scientist could also help with evaluative methods including qualitative methods, mixed-methods, modeling approaches and psychometric analyses. A new PhD faculty member could receive mentorship and collaborate with numerous other faculty within the Institute, including faculty from the Institute for Medicine and Public Health, the Vanderbilt Center for Health Services Research, Departments of Psychiatry, Psychology (Arts and Sciences), Human Organization and Development (Peabody), the Institute for Imaging Science, the Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center, the Vanderbilt Eskind Diabetes Center, and other programs.
