The newest addition to the Center's educational programs, Integrative Medicine in Residency is a 200-hour curriculum designed to be woven into the conventional training of primary care residents. This online competency-based core curriculum in Integrative Medicine fits into the usual residency training without the need of adding an extra year of training such as in the IFM/IMFR. The curriculum is modular and customizable by residency programs and offers a number of multimedia tools, for seamless education and point-of-care use. For the first time, integrative medicine is a required component of graduate medical education at eight residency sites around the nation.
