Integrative Medicine Network Forum 2020

Background

The Osher Center’s Integrative Medicine (IM) Network Forum aims to convene the IM community—both within and beyond Harvard Medical School (HMS) and its teaching affiliates—to build our network, strengthen our connections, and provide an environment for seeding new ideas and opportunities.

• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – learning through our differences

Program: 

• Full Day Symposium

Attendees will walk away with the ability to:

o Recognize the epidemic of healthcare provider burnout, and how individual- and systems-based approaches are needed to promote well-being and resilience

o Formulate the value and importance of interprofessional education in traditional healthcare fields (e.g. physicians, nurses) and integrative medicine fields (e.g. chiropractic care, acupuncture)

o Appraise cultures of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace environment, and its contribution to better patient care
