Integrative Health Grand Rounds
Join us every 3rd Wednesday of the month from 6 - 7 p.m. Pacific.

The Integrative Health Grand Rounds series is intended for physicians (including residents), nurses, allied health professionals, nutritionists/dietitians, researchers, naturopaths, massage therapists, and other integrative medicine professionals.
The objectives of this series are to:
1. Highlight the latest integrative medicine and health research;
2. Encourage interdisciplinary learning and discussion;
2. Provide clinicians with new strategies that support whole person-oriented care; and
3. Bring together thought leaders and researchers to build connections and collaborations.
