Integrative Medicine Team
I’ve recently joined the Fellowship Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona with Dr. Andrew Weil, and am setting up an Integrative Medicine team. The Team will meet to consult about a treatment plan for the more complex patients at Integrative Medicine of Nevada. Referrals will be made to the appropriate local practitioners, as well as for specific diet and exercise options.
While this Team will be based on Dr. Weil’s model in Tucson, it will no doubt be somewhat different in composition in an effort to accurately reflect the Alternative Medical Community in Reno. Thus, we are not certain of the exact composition of the Team, but it could be there will be rotating members. I anticipate the need for herbalists, naturopaths, homeopaths, acupuncturists, body workers, chiropractors, osteopaths, spiritual healers, nutritionists, psychologists and counselors, shamanic practitioners, and more.
Ultimately, there will also be local Medical Doctors participating to learn about the many healing modalities available for their patients. The Team members will serve a valuable function in educating the participating physicians about the appropriate use of these alternative therapeutic modalities.
If you think you might like to serve on such a Team, please fill out the Practitioner Form (PDF) and return it to us. Feel free to make copies for your interested colleagues, or refer them to our website integrativemedicineofnevada.com. This process of building the Team is expected to take several months or more, so please be patient in our response to you!
Looking forward to bridging the worlds of alternative and conventional medicine with all my colleagues in Reno, Nevada,
Warmest regards,
Christi Bonds, M.A., M.D.
