Integrative Medicine Fellowship


Welcome to the UA Family Medicine Residential Fellowship in Integrative Medicine Program

Our Family Medicine Residency has supported a residential Integrative Medicine Fellowship in conjunction with the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine (AWCIM) since 2003. It has evolved over time and continues to be a robust and exciting opportunity for graduates of Family Medicine residencies. Most years we reserve this fellowship for residents graduating from our residency program.

This is a unique opportunity and a rare one. There are only a handful of residential fellowships like this across the country. Fellows focus on Integrative Family Medicine in the clinical setting and have clinical and didactic teaching responsibilities in the residency. This is a wonderful opportunity for residents interested in IM as well as academic medicine. They will have mentorship from many of the national leaders in Integrative Medicine and will be eligible to sit for the ABOIM boards at the end of the fellowship.  

Integrative medicine fellows serve as junior faculty in the Dept. of Family and Community Medicine. Fellows will care for patients independently, without direct supervision. This is a self-directed fellowship, and we hope that when questions arise about the practice of integrative medicine, you will contact one of the several physicians in our department who have completed an integrative medicine fellowship for guidance on any particular case.

Our residential fellow will start in the Family Medicine Center in July and stay for one year. They will start the AWCIM online fellowship in the spring or fall and then continue the AWCIM fellowship for approximately 6 months after finishing the residential year here in Tucson, AZ.

With more than a decade and a half of graduates, we are extremely proud of this program and our fellows who have gone on to become leaders in Integrative Medicine.
