IMI is proud to participate in an Optimal Healing Environment Study with researchers at the University of Calgary

IMI is committed to continually evaluate, research and develop the most innovative integrative medicine programs. Recently, IMI has partnered with a research team at the University of Calgary’s Department of Community Health Sciences, to explore how integrative clinics can better measure the healing experience.

Together, IMI, the University of Calgary Research Team, and participating patients, will explore which health outcomes are important to patients and which accurately reflect patients’ experiences best. If you are considering starting an integrative care program, and are interested in learning more about participating in this study, please contact IMI’s Clinic Care Coordinator at 233-0917.

IMI is also pleased to assist in two research projects condcuted by 2nd year medical students at the University of Calgary Medical School.

One project is directed at the practitioners of an integrative center looking at gaining insights into how differing professions can relate and integrate while the other study is investigating the effects of prolotherapy and nerual therapy.
