Integrative medicine combines conventional medicine with evidence-based therapeutic approaches to support healing by addressing the physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental factors that impact whole health. “An Integrated U: Integrative Medicine Across the Lifespan” is a one-day conference where faculty experts will highlight best clinical practices and review the latest research and scientific developments to promote whole health from childhood through older age.
