About Integrative Medicine
Integrative Medicine and Health is defined by the
Academic Consortium of Integrative Medicine and Health as an approach which “reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner
and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes
use of all appropriate therapeutic and lifestyle approaches, healthcare
professionals and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing."
