Program Overview

The Osher Collaborative offers specialized advanced training in integrative health with an appointment at an institution with an Osher Center (see below for details). The goal of the Faculty Fellowship is to develop highly skilled leaders and clinicians in integrative health. The interdepartmental Faculty Fellowship expands integrative health 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 health.

Join us for a yearlong program that includes:

• Weekly 3-hour synchronous learning sessions on Wednesdays from 10-1 PST / 12-3 CST / 1-4 EST via Zoom.
• A self-directed integrative health curriculum, expertly crafted by faculty from the Osher Collaborative.
• Monthly mentored case presentations. Fellows are grouped within their specialty to facilitate case-based learning and discussions on patient treatment plans.
• A mentored scholarly project, which can encompass clinical, educational, and/or research dimensions.

Osher Collaborative Faculty Fellows should integrate integrative health principles into their ongoing patient care within their clinical setting. The time dedicated to this will evolve as your knowledge base expands and should align with your goals for integrative patient care. The content will be tailored to your practice.

Upon program completion, eligible scholars may sit for the American Board of Integrative Medicine (ABOIM) exam.
