Education

The integrative medicine curriculum at UTMB Health was developed systematically over the past fifteen years and is structured around standard curricular elements. Integrative medicine is included in all four years of the medical curriculum, as well as in the nursing and health professionals' curricula. In 2015 we also launched an Integrative and Behavioral Medicine Fellowship.

Resources

We offer a large curated collection of resources, including links, databases, articles, and lectures. We also periodically review books on integrative-related topics.
