Integrative Medicine in Residency Track (Click here to download IMR track)
The Integrative Medicine in Residency (IMR) track is an exciting optional track provided to interested residents during their second and third year of training. The track consists of informative on-line modules, essential hands-on experience, interesting didactic components and visits to community facilities. Our residency affiliates with the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine to provide this track and is one of only six programs identified as an “early adopter” of the IMR track in the United States.
Integrative Medicine combines conventional medicine with complementary, evidence-based health care modalities incorporating a special emphasis on health promotion and illness prevention. The director of the IMR track is Gazala Parvin, M.D. She is Board Certified in Family Medicine and completed her fellowship in Integrative Medicine in 2007 under Andrew Weil, MD. Dr. Parvin specializes in women’s health issues and the prevention and management of chronic illness, including cancer.
