AACIPM participated in its first International Congress on Integrative Medicine and Health 2022, held in Phoenix, Arizona, May 23-26. This Congress was convened by the Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine and Health.
Robert Bonakdar, MD, FAAFP, FACN, Director of Pain Management, Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine and Amy Goldstein, MSW, Director, AACIPM, organized this session along with esteemed panelists: Ben Kligler MD MPH, Darshan Mehta MD MPH, Christine Goertz DC PhD, Trevor Luntz PT PhD MPH, and Nicole Golding MD FAAPMR CHCQM.

There is never enough time to discuss and address questions, but it was clear the topic inspired a great deal of interest. We look forward to future educational offerings to keep connecting these important dots with people with pain, payors, providers and policymakers. Speaking of connecting, see our photo from the Lovell Foundation meet-up below…
