The Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine (CAHCIM)

www.imconsortium.org

The Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine (CAHCIM) is supported by a grant from the Philanthropic Collaborative for Integrative Medicine. Our membership currently includes 22 highly esteemed academic medical centers.

Our mission is to help transform medicine and healthcare through rigorous scientific studies, new models of clinical care, and innovative educational programs that integrate biomedicine, the complexity of human beings, the intrinsic nature of healing and the rich diversity of therapeutic systems.

The goal, at its essence, is to make a qualitative difference in people's health by advocating an integrative model of healthcare, incorporating mind, body and spirit.

As an organization we are committed to sharing information and ideas, meeting challenges together in a process grounded in the values of Integrative Medicine, supporting member institutions and providing a national voice for Integrative Medicine.

The CAHCIM represents a tremendous opportunity to affect the direction, assumptions and outcomes of healthcare. Given the involvement of strong academic institutions and their representatives, which include deans and chancellors, we are poised to provide a forum for those committed to the values of Integrative Medicine.

The Consortium will provide the cohesion necessary to maximize individual institutional efforts, and also move the field forward in a way that no one institution is able to.
