The Osher Center’s Virtual Integrative Medicine (IM) Network Forum aims to convene the IM community—both within and beyond Harvard Medical School (HMS) and its teaching affiliates—to build our network, strengthen our connections, and provide an environment for seeding new ideas and opportunities.
The 2020 Integrative Medicine Network Forum will be centered around ‘Learning Horizontally and Vertically: Building Networks Within and Between Healthcare Providers.’
Within this context we will explore the following themes:
Resiliency – for the healthcare provider of the future;
Inter-professional education – learning horizontally and vertically;
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – learning through our differences.
