Their goals:[1]
- Supporting and mentoring academic leaders, faculty, and students to advance integrative healthcare education, research, and clinical care.
- Disseminating information on rigorous scientific research, educational curricula in integrative health, and sustainable models of clinical care.
- Informing health care policy.
History
The Consortium of Academic Medical Centers for Integrative Medicine started as a visionary concept shared by eight academic medical institutions in 1999, during a meeting at the Fetzer Institute in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The group of eight institutions pledged a strong commitment to the vision of integrative medicine and the development of its role in healthcare delivery, shaped by several core values.[2]
Its founding members were the Integrative Medicine centres at the following eight universities: Duke University, Harvard University, Stanford University, San Francisco University of California, Arizona University (Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine), Maryland University, University of Massachusetts, and University of Minnesota.[3]
In 2005 to become a member, either the dean or chancellor were required to commit to developing programs in research, education, and clinical delivery of CAM and the school had to demonstrate an organized and robust program in two of those three areas.[4]
In January 2015 the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine changed its name to the Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine & Health.[5]
The Consortium has received initial and continuing support from the Bravewell Collaborative.
