The UC San Diego School of Medicine has promoted Dr. Deepak Chopra from assistant professor to full professor to reflect his growing work with the campus to explore and explain how such things as meditation, yoga and diet affect a person's health.
The promotion does not come with a salary. The 68 year-old physician-spiritualist will continue to interact with the university on a voluntary, unpaid basis. He will continue to be based out of the Chopra Center in La Costa, which he co-founded in 1996 to explore and teach about the wellbeing of mind, body and spirit.
"We are now endeavoring to further develop that relationship for both teaching and research. Dr. Chopra is involved in collaborative research being conducted in the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health's Center of Excellence in Research and Training in Integrative Health. Additionally, over the past four months, a number of UC San Diego faculty have been working with Dr. Chopra to address the problem of physician and trainee burnout and approaches to help remedy it.
