SUPPORT the SyMPOSIUM & MEMBERS MEETING
Supporter Interest Form
Thank you for your interest in supporting the 2021 Symposium. Please complete the form below and a representative will be in touch with you soon to discuss available opportunities to meet your objectives.
Sponsorship support is essential to ensuring the Integrative Medicine and Health Symposium provides the educational, scientific, and community experience to advance integrative medicine for all. It enables a high-caliber experience and increases access by providing scholarships to young and early-career researchers, covering operational costs and subsidizing registration fees to make the Symposium more affordable for professionals who otherwise will not be able to attend. We welcome sponsors who support integrative health activities.
Due to continuing medical education requirements, supporter opportunities have been developed for non-commercial and commercial entities. The ACCME definition of a commercial interest can be found here.
