“By nature there are constant stressors in ‘doctor school’ while we hold ourselves to the highest of standards to perform and learn at an exceptional level,” said Madi O'Callaghan, student at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. Michael Lampe, Ed.D., program director of digital education and academic technology, said, “Students were calling for more support related to well-being and mental health.” So he helped implement a guided mindfulness experience using virtual reality (VR) headsets to support the mental health of the CU Dental community.
