Education in Integrative Medicine

The Center is involved with the Education Working Group of the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine. The principal focus of the Education Working Group is to incorporate the field of integrative medicine into the curriculum of medical schools throughout the country. The Center’s 4th Year Course is included as an education model at UCLA.

Resident Rotation

The integrative East-West Medicine clinic rotation offers interns and residents the opportunity to get clinical experience in the practice of integrative medicine either as a continuity clinic or a two week to one month intensive rotation. Residents will have opportunities to interact and learn on a one-on-one basis from Center faculty and staff. Students will also be exposed to other important factors influencing the practice of integrative East-West medicine, including but not limited to legal, financial, social, research, and international aspects of the practice.

Over the years, some residents who have taken the Center's intensive medical clerkships have returned to UCLA for fellowship to train to be a leader in this innovative healthcare model.
