Ep 32: Students at UNM discuss their pre-professional medical networking group

August 25th, 2011 at 9:37 pm (episode, chiropractic, alternative medicine, health, interprofessional relationships, integration, students)

A group of students at the University of New Mexico has formed a special interest group that encourages networking among pre-professional health care students. The thinking is that forming networks and relationships now will help them to better treat their future patients.

The Integrative Medical Education Exchange has a board of directors consisting of a medical student, a pre-chiropractic student, two pharmacy students and a recently graduated chiropractor. The membership spans all types of health care professions. Dr. Brett Kinsler spoke with several of them on this episode of On The Other Hand.

    Great podcast Dr. Kinsler. Hopefully, other healthcare professionals will appreciate the integrative efforts of Dr. Arti Prassad at the University of New Mexico. The patients deserve integrative behavior by all healthcare professionals. Afterall, we are expected to provide patient-centered care, which requires interdisciplinary communications. Congratulations to all of the students and healthcare providers at UNM.

    Really enjoyed the podcast. UNM is one of the lead CAHCIM schools and it is wonderful to hear more about their work. Very exciting!

    I am a recent graduate from the University of Western States and I would like to provide more information (and links) to a similar student led program in Portland, OR. The student led group is the Student Alliance for Integrative Medicine (SAIM) which developed from a more seasoned group - the Oregon Collaborative for Integrative Medicine (OCIM).

    OCIM is a collaborative that combines the 4 local healthcare schools in Portland - chiropractic (UWS), allopathic (OHSU), naturopathic (NCNM) and oriental medicine (OCOM); the 4 college presidents serve as the board members. Historically OCIM has been an institution led organization hosting multiple speaking engagements, hosting an annual research symposium (SPARC), etc.

    In Fall of 2009 a group of students started the Student Alliance for Integrative Medicine (SAIM) under the guidance of OCIM leaders and has thrived with students meeting once per month, hosting expert panels, rotated student to student lectures and celebrating International Integrative Medicine day . IIMDAY is an event originally developed by the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) and is celebrated all over the world each January.

    It is very exciting to hear that the concept of working together to provide excellent patient centered and evidence based care is growing. growing both in academic institutions like UNM and in practice as well as highlighted by the podcast (Jordan Hospital, Orthocarolina, etc.).

    A request for future podcast guests include Matt Kowalski of Harvard’s OSHER institute, Rick Branson of the Fairview hospital system in MN, and a integrative thought leader from within CAHCIM or ACCAHC… Thank you for the quality and content!

    This is exciting. I always say that I need better connections to others in the medical community. Can’t wait until this thing goes up!
