Integrative and Preventive Medicine Interest Group (IPMIG)

Mission: 

The Integrative and Preventive Medicine Interest Group aims to enhance medical students’ understanding of how to integrate evidence based complementary and alternative therapies and lifestyle modifications into medical practice. Fundamental knowledge in these areas are essential for a physician to take part in the prevention and treatment of many diseases, and to promote overall health of their patients, as opposed to simply placing a bandage over the symptoms themselves.
