About the AIHM Fellowship in Integrative Health & Medicine
The AIHM Interprofessional Fellowship in Integrative Health and Medicine is a 1,000-hour, 2-year hybrid educational program for clinicians. It leads many eligible MDs/DOs to national board certification to shift the clinical system of care from one of disease management to one of health creation. The AIHM Fellowship covers topics including: nutrition, dietary supplements, botanical medicine, motivational interviewing, and self-care.
Partner Scholarships
AIHM has partnered with California Primary Care Association, Community Health Association of Mountain/Plains States, Integrative Medicine for the Underserved, Live Well San Diego, and Northwest Regional Primary Care Association to offer full scholarships ($24,000) to the AIHM Fellowship to clinicians working with the underserved at one of our members’ clinical sites!
