Quick Links to Integrative Medicine News in Medical Systems and Communities: February 2015 This
typically monthly Integrator feature is, for February 2015, a quick capture of highlights
from the stories that flow in daily from various sources relative to
"integrative medicine." A remarkable trend is the number of stories about new medical hires who advertise their completion of the U Arizona Fellowship in Integrative Medicine. Here are 24 selections
related to hospitals and medical organizations and integrative medicine, plus just 2 from
alternative and integrative medicine in community non-system practices for February 2015. For you paying attention: January got by me without competing this practice. Apologies. When time allows, this practice continues to astound. Critical mass! (Note that Global News Links are now posted at The Global Integrator Blog for Global Advances in Health and Medicine - see related notice here. Exciting development.)
