About the Integrative Medicine Forum

The Integrative Medicine Network at UCSF believes that alternatie medicine is transforming our health care system. We envision a new model of medical practice that incorporates the best of allopathic and alternative therapies. This ideal of integrative medicine is at the forefront of public and professional discourse, and many important questions need to be addressed.

The UCSF Integrative Medicine Forum is a multidisciplinary community conference for current and future leaders in all areas of medicine including medicine, nursing, dentistry, and pharmacy. Through keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive workshops, attendees will examine key issues in alternative and integrative medicine.

Goals of the Forum
- Provide a broad overview of integrative medicine, and explore different models of integrative health care.
- Stimulate discussion of innovative research in integrative medicine, including study findings, new approaches, an ethical issues.
- Elucidate the theory and practice of various alternative therapies.
- Provide participants a framework within which they can include alternative medicine in an allopathic practice.

Nurses can obtain nursing CEU credits and students from all UCSF schools can earn elective units for attending the forum.
