Integrative medicine (IM) is an emerging field that emphasizes the evidence-basedcombination of both conventional and alternative approaches to address the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of health and illness.

Integrative Medicine practitioners usually take a holistic/total person approach to their patients. They understand that overall health and well-being is a combination of multiple factors, including genetics, physiology, the environment, personal relationships, health beliefs, and the power of a positive medical interaction. In some situations, Integrative Medicine modalities may achieve similar results to conventional medicine with fewer side effects, and may create a greater sense of individual self-efficacy.

Stanford contains an Integrative Medicine Center; hospital-wide functions such as massage and pet therapy; various clinic-specific programs; educators and researchers exploring integrative medicine; and individual practitioners who may be either trained in, or knowledgeable about and open to, various modalities.

The purpose of this website is to gather together in one place an easily accessible snapshot of where to find Integrative Medicine modalities and practitioners/researchers/educators at Stanford Medical Center. It will be regularly updated. If you find something missing, please contact the webmaster.
