Following the very popular 2014 Symposium, this year’s event also promises to be an unmissable educational experience, which will be relevant to pharmacists, GPs, naturopaths, researchers and allied health professionals. We will be bringing together a diverse line-up of leading international and Australian researchers and clinicians in the field of integrative medicine to present not only a broad overview of current research in this area but the translation of this to your professional practice.

This comprehensive program will provide you with:
- A keynote address with insights from a leading international integrative medicine consortium
- Current findings on cognitive and mental health, nutrition, cardiovascular, eye and gut health and much more
- An innovative new rapid research session to take away key research findings from the past 12 months
- Clinical round tables to integrate findings into practice
