Discounted tickets to AIMA Events
Members have access to discounted tickets to the AIMA Conference, which is held annually in Auckland, NZ. This two-day conference is the leading event for the NZ and Australian integrative medicine community, offering attendees the opportunity to learn the latest in the field from highly acclaimed national and international speakers as well as to meet and socialise with like-minded practitioners. This event is a ‘must-do’ on the calendar. Additionally, AIMA members have access to other AIMA special events including online webinars and workshops as well as discounts to AIMA partner events.
Certificate of Membership – on request
On joining, you may request an AIMA member’s certificate indicating your commitment to integrative medicine and its sustainable model of healthcare. For practitioners, this visual representation indicates to their patients that they are part of a bigger picture working towards optimal health and wellbeing through combining the best of conventional western medicine with evidence-based complementary medicine and therapies.
Networking and Support
AIMA recognises the vital role of collegiality in the healthcare professions. AIMA provides the opportunities for like-minded professionals to come out of isolation, meet, network and learn from each other in collaborative settings. Our events (meetings, conferences, online webinars), social media pages and regular e-communications will put you in touch with other like-minded practitioners. These opportunities stimulate a sense of belonging and shared goals as well as providing support and opportunities to learn from others. In short, we help you to “find your people”.
