The Department of Family Medicine is also the home of the University of Michigan Integrative Family Medicine (IFM), an interdisciplinary program, which is committed to the thoughtful and compassionate integration of complementary therapies and conventional medicine through the activities of research, education, clinical services and community partnerships. IFM offers clinic services including holistic family medicine at their Domino’s Farm Family Practice site. IFM are leaders in delivering integrative medicine fellowship training. In addition to our decades long traditional one-year IM fellowship, we have pioneered the faculty fellowship model to train physicians already in practice and are expanding that model to integrative oncology.

IFM is actively associated with Integrative Medicine Research Faculty across the Campus, and was originally founded as the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Research Center (CAMRC) in 1998 by a Center grant from the then Office of Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the NIH. Dr. Zick, one of the instructors and course director of the Integrative Oncology Scholars Program, was an investigator on the CAMRC grant. IFM is also a member and actively involved in the Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine and Health (ACIMH). The Consortium currently includes over 70 highly esteemed academic medical centers and affiliate institutions all of which have clinical, educational and research activities in Integrative medicine.
