On October 29-31, 2013, the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine will convene the inaugural International Congress for Clinicians in Complementary and Integrative Medicine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the Omni Hotel in Chicago, Illinois.

Integrative Medicine is the practice of medicine that reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing.  We expect more than 250 clinicians and trainees from around the world to attend.  The organizers invite all disciplines and professions engaged in integrative medicine and health to participate.
