Approach to Breast Cancer Survivorship
WHEN: December 18th, 2013 from
12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
WHERE: The Hope Lodge – Gainesville
FEATURED SPEAKER: Dr. Irene Estores
Dr. Irene M. Estores completed her
Integrative Medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona Center for
Integrative Medicine, the nationally recognized program of Dr. Andrew Weil, as
a Bravewell Fellow. She is also a specialist in physical medicine and
rehabilitation (PM and R) and completed her residency training at the Sinai
Hospital- Johns Hopkins Hospital Inter-institutional program in PM and R. She
received her initial acupuncture training at the University of Miami Center for
Complementary and Integrative Medicine and has applied this to the management
of both musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain. She has worked as clinical
faculty in academic medical centers, in federal hospital systems, and in a
community outreach clinic prior to her current position as Medical Director of
the Integrative Medicine Program at the University of Florida Health System.
Irene's interest in integrative
medicine grew out of self-exploration of other healing and belief systems, the
deepening of her spiritual practice of prayer, self-reflection and meditation,
and a mindful experience of both the good and bad things that have happened in
her life as an individual and as a physician. She considers her practice of
medicine as a vocation and a spiritual path.
As part of her commitment to
nurture her own body, mind, and spirit, she racewalks, keeps a daily
prayer/journaling/ meditative reading practice, laughs at her husband's jokes,
cooks with her sons, and walks any labyrinth she can find.
