Students for Integrative Medicine (SIM)

Students for Integrative Medicine (SIM) is a student group at UCLA that strives to raise student awareness for evidence-based, integrative, and whole-person approaches to medicine and health. The healthcare paradigm we support is one that is characterized not only by disease treatment and prevention, but also by interprofessionalism, health promotion, and person-oriented care. SIM encourages students to be aware of our current medical system, methods of self-care, and healing ideologies across cultures. We also provide a forum to learn, experience, share, and explore topics in Integrative Medicine (IM) such as nutrition, mind-body medicine, research, and healthcare. We aim to build a community of students interested in these topics and to connect them with networks of professionals in their respective fields.
