Integrative medicine is a relatively new field and sub-specialty in Western medicine. In very broad terms, integrative medicine brings together the different but complementing components of traditional medicine (Western medicine) and alternative medicine to achieve optimal health. It focuses on the whole person and highlights the importance of the relationship between the physician and the patient. Integrative medicine specialists are board-certified physicians who use various proven therapies and treatment approaches from both traditional and alternative medicine, rather than practice one type of medicine, to ensure the best results for their patients.
How to find an integrative medicine physician?
Integrative Medicine, just like all the other physican sub-specialties, requires the completion of an MD or DO program, followed by a residency and then a fellowship program, and finally a board certification exam. To find an integrative medicine physician, please contact the ABPS American Board of Integrative Medicine at (813) 433-2277.
