Stamford Health is proud to offer a two-year Integrative Medicine Fellowship Program. This program offers a unique clinical experience in evidence-based complementary therapies in pain management, nutrition/supplement consultation, stress management with guided imagery and mindfulness meditation, and preventive cardiology. Our consultation practice is a wonderful opportunity for learning this important perspective of medical care. Fellows will be funded to complete the 1,000-hour University of Arizona distance learning and residential curriculum as well as a 300-hour acupuncture program for physicians. The salary and benefits of the two-year fellowship is PGY-4 and PGY-5, respectively for each year.
Year 1 fellows will spend 50 percent of their time in the hospital's primary care family medicine clinic for under-insured patients, and 50 percent of their time at the Center for Integrative Medicine and Wellness. Year 2 fellows will spend 100 percent of their time at the Center.
The clinical stories and patient care outcomes at CIMW offer a rich resource for teaching Integrative Medicine Fellows at CIMW as well as for learning activities for medical students and medical residents.
