Advocacy

Following is a list of resources AIMA has compiled to assist you if you are undergoing a regulatory investigation for practising Integrative Medicine.  We also have a list of peer mentors who are available to support you through the process – these are all doctors who have undergone a regulatory process themselves – and a list of independent lawyers who are friendly to IM.  Please contact [email protected] if you’d like a referral to either of these services.
