The Mindful Scrub applies the concepts of mindfulness to a routine activity that we perform often as surgeons. The idea behind the mindful scrub is to help bring your mind to the present moment as you enter the OR for a case, leaving the stressors of home, the ward, and consults behind. This allows you to bring your full attention to the case at hand, to optimize learning and your surgical performance and help you tune out all the chatter that can be a distraction.
