The Osher Collaborative offers specialized advanced training for faculty interested in integrative health with an appointment at an institution with an Osher Center. The goal of the Faculty Fellowship is to develop highly skilled leaders and clinicians in integrative health. The interdepartmental Faculty Fellowship will expand integrative healthcare expertise, fostering an accessible and comprehensive network of integrative care, education, and scholarship. Over the course of the year-long program, scholars are encouraged to develop their individual interests in integrative medicine.
