AAIM's Beliefs
- The American Association of Integrative Medicine believes the strength of a unified membership will secure the integrity, recognition and legal status of which integrative medicine is worthy.
- AAIM believes 'healthy' means more than just the absence of disease. The human being is a fusion of body, mind and spirit - one dependent upon the other for optimal quality of life.
- AAIM believes the patient or client will benefit by the shared knowledge and better understanding among practitioners.
