Integrative Medicine Interest Group Meetings
The Program for Integrative Medicine and Health Care Disparities holds interest group meetings on the first Monday of each month. Each month, a member of the BUMC Integrative Medicine community is invited to present his or her current work or research in the integrative medicine field. All members of the BU-BMC community are invited to attend these meetings.
Unless otherwise noted, meetings are held in the Department of Family Medicine conference room on the 5th floor of the Dowling Building. All meetings take place from 11:00-12:00 pm.
