The Integrative Medicine Fellowship
The integrative training program will consist of a combination of workshops, lectures, and structured content-oriented instruction offered through the Beth Israel Center for Health and Healing Fellowship in Integrative Medicine.
These workshops will be offered weekly and will be 120 minutes in length. These workshops will take place at the Center for Health and Healing in Manhattan, on Tuesday afternoons from 1 PM to 3 PM. These workshops provide an in-depth knowledge base for physicians in both the modalities of CAM and the therapeutic applications of these modalities to specific medical problems, and specifically focus on challenges that arise in teaching this content to medical students and residents.
This curriculum will give participants the knowledge base needed to incorporate CAM into both their clinical practice and their teaching activities.
The fellowship program has always offered education on the CAM therapies in the context of the underlying philosophy of an integrative, whole-person approach. The training program proposed here will provide a coherent, systematic overview of the field of CAM from the perspective of the “conventional” health care provider.
In general the program will emphasize experiential and case-based learning. Small group discussion will be the preferred teaching mode. Lecture time will constitute a relatively small percentage of the didactic curriculum. The curriculum is outlined in attachment.
