According to conference director Perlmutter, “Although it is the goal of human beings to be physically healthy, emotionally mature and spiritually awakened, most people, including modern healthcare providers, lack knowledge of how to attain this worthwhile goal. Understanding this dilemma, I have spent most of the past 50 years of my life studying, experimenting with, and interpreting the ancient teachings of the world’s most knowledgeable Yoga Science and Yoga Psychology medical sages. Now that the benefit of my endeavors has been clinically proven to reduce burnout and stress while increasing compassion, I will share my conclusions at this year’s AMI physicians conference. By learning to apply my curriculum, physicians will know through their own personal experience that holistic health is more than physical fitness and mental stability. Each attendee will receive a complete set of practical tools that reduce physician burnout and stress, enhance problem solving capacities, and nurture a healthier life-work balance. And when they leave this year’s conference, they will know how to take care of the body, regulate the breath, control the emotions and coordinate the 4 functions of the mind so they can rediscover their inner source of physical well-being and emotional contentment, and deepen their love of medicine and life.”
In December of 2022, “Lifestyle Medicine,” the premier international publication of applied lifestyle medicine, published the results of a five-year, peer-reviewed clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of Leonard Perlmutter’s annual Physician Conference curriculum. The findings included the following groundbreaking, life-enhancing, health-promoting changes: Burnout was reduced 23.3%, Secondary Traumatic Stress was reduced 19.9%, and Compassion Satisfaction was increased by 11.2%.

According to conference alumnus Kelly Herron MD, in Obstetrics and Gynecology, “This program has been very illuminating for me at this point in my life. It has provided me with a tremendous number of tools to apply in various relationships. I now have an ongoing practice of how to live my life free of obstacles, and am more able to love my family, friends, patients and myself.”
