Participants will explore a new practice model for Integrative Medicine/Integrative Health (IM/IH) that addresses the present obstacles of working successfully in an interdisciplinary manner.  Based on findings from an ongoing, 10-year ethnographic study by integrative medicine doctors and a medical anthropologist at the Health Medicine Clinic in Northern California, this workshop presents practical steps for mediating among disciplines with widely disparate education, training philosophies, diagnostic and treatment methods, licensure, and scopes of practice.

In a lively, engaging way, participants will be able to use the findings from this study of Healing Circles, and role play to explore how various, novel treatment plans emerge when organizational geometry changes from hierarchy to democratized circles.
