Speaker Bios and Workshop Information

This conference is a project of the Boston Students for Integrative Medicine (BSIM), a collaboration among students in the Boston area aiming to encourage student wellness and education and Integrative Medicine.

INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE is a healing-oriented rather than disease-oriented medicine, combining the many facets of health into the art of healing. It integrates community with individual, science with art, mind and spirit with body, and incorporates multiple healing systems including biomedicine.
