We invite all doctors, nurses, natural health practitioners and allied health professionals to help drive the pace of this extraordinary evolution of IM. Join us as "Friends of the Patient" and be part of taking Integrative Medicine to the next level 17th Your Invitation to attend D Taking the Pulse of Integrative Medicine I extend a warm invitation to all Integrative Medicine Practitioners and health professionals to join us at this landmark 21 st International Australasian Integrative Medicine Association Conference. This year we take a step back and look at the extraordinary evolution of integrative medicine. We will look at how IM is faring in Australia and internationally and what needs to change to support its growth and development to the next level. We have a strong scientific stream this year, with leading researchers and practitioners discussing the latest findings and sharing valuable insights on gut health, nutrition, brain fitness, oncology and much more. As our patients increasingly demand both a science and heart-based approach to their care, we also have a heart of medicine stream, looking at the latest heart-based approaches in primary and hospital care. We hope newcomers and old hands alike will be informed and inspired by the latest knowledge, case studies, panel discussions and networking at this conference. If you are new to IM, welcome, our conference is your place to learn about this rapidly growing field. Let s take the opportunity at this conference to learn together and create the agenda for the future of Integrative medicine. Dr Penny Caldicott President,AIMA

Introducing the IM Decision Toolkit workshop Dr Jennifer Hunter, Prof Alan Bensoussan and A/Prof Lesley Braun So often the only recommendations arising from clinical practice guidelines are more research is needed or discuss CM use with your patients. This workshop will provide you with the tools you need to make informed clinical decisions even when there may appear to be insufficient scientific evidence to make a strong recommendation. The proposed framework facilitates the direct comparison of otherwise diverse therapies, often with different types and quality of research supporting their use, and offers pragmatic solutions for making sense of the existing evidence for integrative medicine. This approach to decision making is rapidly gaining traction in the international IM community following its launch at the International Conference for Complementary Medicine Research, We welcome you to participate in this engaging and informative workshop.
