Complementary and Integrative Medicine: Where the Rubber Meets the Road
July 9-11, 2015
Course Directors:  Amit Sood, M.D., Tony Y. Chon, M.D., Brent A. Bauer, M.D. 

The Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program of the Department of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic has grown and matured over the last number of years.  In 2011, program leaders held a successful CME program in WI Dells, WI.  Attendees strongly requested a yearly course.  The course will build on the successes of previous courses to develop a program that will present and discuss evidence-based practice, research, and medical education issues relating to CIM.  Nationally recognized speakers within CIM as well as Mayo consultants and allied health staff will present their work in plenary and break-out sessions and in workshops.
