UCLA Collaborative Centers for Integrative Medicine
The CCIM aims to amplify mind-body research and medicine at UCLA through the availability of core resources, educational programs, and clinical training. Its plan also represents a massive effort to coordinate mind-body research and clinical care on the UCLA campus. Investigators within individual centers or programs will reap the benefit of cross-fertilization of ideas and greater possibilities for grant acquisition, clinics will gain increased exposure and referrals, and the public will benefit from increased awareness of and access to complementary care at UCLA. The long-term goal of the CCIM is to establish UCLA as a nationally prominent institution for cutting-edge research and training in integrative medicine.
