Integrative medicine marries traditional medical approaches with research-driven strategies that are beyond the scope of typical pharmaceuticals. As a leader in integrative medicine research and education, The Marcus Institute of Integrative Health offers several ways that physicians can learn about, and earn credentials in, integrative medicine:
- Integrative medicine conferences, with opportunities to earn CME credits
- Certificate programs in Integrative Nutrition, Integrative Health Education & Leadership, and Mind-Body Medicine
- Master’s degree in Integrative Health Sciences
- Full-time fellowship in Integrative Medicine
The benefits of each of these programs are wide-ranging, and below, we outline some that our past students have pointed out to us.
Quality Education: Learn from leading-edge researchers
By enrolling in our integrative nutrition certification programs, physicians gain access to education from pioneers in the field of integrative medicine. Our courses are taught by leading researchers who bring the latest scientific findings into the classroom. This ensures that you are learning current, evidence-based practices that you can immediately apply to your clinical work. Engaging with experts allows you to deepen your understanding of how nutrition impacts health, disease prevention, and patient outcomes.
Marketing Edge: Make your practice stand apart
In today’s competitive healthcare environment, offering integrative nutrition services can significantly differentiate your practice. Patients are increasingly seeking holistic and preventive approaches to health. By adding integrative nutrition to your list of services, you signal to patients that you are committed to addressing the root causes of health issues, not just the symptoms. This unique offering can attract new patients, enhance patient loyalty, and position your practice as a leader in comprehensive care.
Improved Patient Care: Give patients greater care and broaden your treatment modalities
Integrative nutrition certification expands your treatment toolkit, allowing you to offer personalized nutritional guidance alongside traditional medical interventions. This holistic approach can lead to improved patient outcomes by addressing lifestyle factors that contribute to chronic diseases. You’ll be equipped to provide dietary recommendations, assess nutritional deficiencies, and incorporate mind-body techniques, offering your patients a more comprehensive path to wellness.
The Marcus Institute of Integrative Health is an integrative medicine clinic located within the Department of Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University.
