From practice – for practice: KIM for Professionals

KIM is based on and promotes the practice of safe and effective integrative medicine:

Specialized working groups focus on disease- and symptom-specific best practices in integrative medicine. They develop concrete treatment modules and pathways, which are made available to professionals within and outside the network.
Publicly accessible and network-internal training and professional development events are offered.
 
A pool of expertsis available within the KIM who can be contacted for topic-specific training events and observation opportunities.
