Bastyr University Students Win AANMC Video Contest

Bastyr University students used inspiration and humor to display the rigors and the spirit of naturopathic medicine education.

Bastyr Univeristy students fared well in the recent Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (AANMC) ND Student Video Contest.

"A Better Way," produced by Bastyr University California students Adam Silberman and Natiya Guin won the Judge's Pick. The judges chose this video because they felt it best expressed the spirit, the content and the credibility of naturopathic medical education in an entertaining and creative way. For winning the top award, Silberman and Guin take home a $2,500 cash prize.

Additionally, Bastyr University Washington students Kevin Kuo, James Gilchrist and Dominic Valdes earned runner-up status in the popular vote (and $500) for their video titled "Swagga Coach."

Congratulations to all the winners!

May 18 Continuing Ed

Horses bring a unique energy, joy and playful nature to their interactions with humans as well as with each other. Observing their social behaviors helps us to discover and develop mindfulness, better communication skills and social sensitivity. This workshop is designed to help healthcare practitioners and students develop an awareness of the subtleties of self-presentation and communication which are necessary for a positive provider-patient relationship. Our interpersonal skills, as much as the factual clinical information, influence the quality and effectiveness of these relationships.
