George Washington Univ SOM
Integrative Medicine Interest Group
Primary Contact: Fred Weiss, DPT, MSII, Group Leader (we don't use titles since we have such a large amount of leadership in the group)
Faculty Contact: John Pan, MD, MSII Group Leader

In teaming up with the Manipulation Interest Group, we've planned a two semester long Seminar/Experiental Series that takes place every Friday. Activities include discussions with CAM practitioners from the "GW Center for Integrative Medicine" (as well as the surrounding DC area), workshops on various CAM disciplines (i.e. Reiki, massage therapy, chiropractic, hypnotherapy, etc.) and wellness Fridays when we take our lunch time and practice some sort of healthy activity such as Yoga or Tai Chi. Our interest group is probably one of the most active and has the largest leadership of any other group in the school. Madhuri Kasat (co-leader) was able to attend an AMSA funded retreat this past summer and we will be implementing her action plan for GW. As a group we are advocating for curriculum reform and we are currently in the process of modifying a PBL case to include CAM topics. This modification has already been approved and will be implemented in the second year curriculum in the fall. We also provide contact information for practitioners who gave permission for students to shadow. We're in the process of making the project of including CAM in the curriculum and planning the seminar/experiental series an official independent study in the "medical education" elective track offered by GW (much like a minor in undergraduate studies).

The Integrative, Complementary, and Alternative Medicine (ICAM) group at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine is a student group that is striving to promote the awareness and understanding of complementary and alternative medical practices (i.e., acupuncture, herbs, meditation, naturopathy, etc.) among medical students and physicians. Medical student well-being both physiological, physical, and spiritual is a focus of our group and we work to maintain health and wellness of our community of healers. We believe that a basic understanding of commonly used complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies is essential for health professionals in today's medical landscape. We work in association, on national level with the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) Humanistic Medicine Action Committee. In this capacity we attend national conventions, retreats, and work with each other to improve the education of medical students on issues related to wellness, complementary and alternative medical practices, and humanism. We welcome and embrace all new ideas and members.
