The Interprofessional Graduate School for Integrative Medicine and Health Sciences (IGIM) was established at Witten/Herdecke University in 2021. The IGIM offers a cross-university structured doctoral programme to ensure a solid scientific education for young scientists (master's and doctoral theses) in integrative medicine. Participation in the Research Training Group programme is free of charge after admission.

In the IGIM introductory seminar, experts teach the basics of scientific work and research methods using concrete examples from integrative medicine. In small groups with doctoral supervisors, students have the opportunity to develop and discuss specific research questions. Participation in the introductory seminar is a prerequisite for applying for the IGIM programme.

The seminar starts on Friday, 27 September 2024, at 2 pm and ends on Saturday, 28 September 2024, at 3 pm. Participation and catering on site are free of charge, participants must organise their own travel and accommodation.

The application deadline for the introductory seminar is 30 August 2024. Anyone interested in a doctorate/master's thesis in integrative medicine can apply by sending an email to IGIM@uni-wh.de with a CV and a letter of motivation (1.5 to 2 pages). A flyer for the introductory seminar is available for download.
