Integrative medicine (sometimes referred to as Complimentary/Alternative medicine) encompasses a broad range of therapeutic approaches to achieve optimal health and wellness for those who are ill or those who are concerned about disease prevention. Integrative medicine evaluates and incorporates specific services that address the whole person, not just the disease. Physicians and practitioners utilize techniques including consultations about nutrition, acupuncture, massage therapy, meditation, visual imagery, and more. Our panelists include:
Anastasia Rowland-Seymour, MD Assistant Professor of Medicine Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Gerard E. Mullin, MD
Associate Professor of Medicine Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Sheryl Martin OMD, L.Ac., RN
Johns Hopkins Integrative Medicine & Digestive Center Meena Somanchi, Ph.D.
Researcher, Johns Hopkins University Lecturer, Johns Hopkins Odyssey Program
Our speakers will discuss how they became interested in integrative medicine, the training they completed in the field, and how they use integrative medicine in their work with patients. This promises to be an enlightening and interesting event and we hope you can join us! |
