There are more than a dozen Fellowship in Integrative Medicine alumni and two currently enrolled fellows working at the UA Colleges of Medicine with specialties including family medicine, internal medicine, psychiatry and pediatrics. The center also provides UA medical students with the Integrative Medicine Distinction Track and partners with the residencies in family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine and psychiatry for its Integrative Medicine in Residency program.
The UA Division of Integrative Medicine in the UA Department of Medicine operates largely through the UA Center for Integrative Medicine, which was founded in 1994 by Andrew Weil, MD, a UA professor of medicine and public health, center director and the Lovell-Jones Endowed Chair in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.
