On Organizational Direction - Working with Others by Molly Roberts, MD
 Dear fellow AHMA member, What kind of organization is the AHMA? Where has it come from, and where is it going? What approach do we as a holistic medicine organization take in our effort to transform healthcare into a sustainable, holistic / integrative model focused on wellness and prevention? There are two potential positions we could take and they both have a legitimate place in the greater scheme of things. However, the AHMA is better suited to take one path over the other. Read more |

Holistic
Medicine
And You Need Each Other
|
 You know why you joined AHMA. You know why you practice medicine as you do. More and more, people - your patients - are looking for the integrative, holistic approach to managing their health. We realized (again) at last year's retreat, The Healer Within, that you, as well as each member, need one another to remain whole, healthy, and able to help others. AHMA doesn't have chapters in every state, however, we want to help you connect with like-minded professionals whenever and wherever possible. So please, help us help you. If you want to start a chapter in your area, please contact Natalie Talis; bookmark our calendar and check it often to find helpful events and opportunities to earn CMEs or other applicable education credits. To place events on our calendar that others might benefit from, send an email to Natalie. Thanks for helping us connect you with other members! | |
