Physician's Special Program
Licensed Medical Doctors who graduated in the conventional Doctor of Medicine (MD) are qualified to enroll in the Physician's Special Program. This is an academic doctoral program that starts with Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (NMD), while skipping ND, then afterwards,proceeding to take either the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or the Doctor of Integrative Medicine. However, some physicians wishes only to take the Doctor of Naturopathy (ND), without planning to proceed to PhD or DEM. This is a matter of two (2) options for the enrolling physician, that they have to decide. (Please see the Timetable below)
Other professionals in the Health occupation, with a health-related Bachelor and full Master's degree plus hospital work/ experience are also qualified to enroll in the Physicians Special Program. They can start with Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (NMD), then Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Doctor of Integrative Medicine. However, in the event that they change their mind after graduating with Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (NMD) and wishes to pursue Doctor of Medicine (MD) Major in Integrative Medicine, they will have to undergo the clinical practice of an NMD and enroll in a Ten (10) Modules in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) in Integrative Medicine, plus Dissertation or opting for Thirteen (13) Modules (Non- Dissertation) earning a Combined Degree of DIM/MD*. These Ten (10) additional MD (IM) modules with Dissertation will compensate for the missing modules of the ND or one Academic Ladder in the Total MD (IM) program.MD focuses on the Mastery of Differential Diagnostic skills and Integrative Therapeutic Management of all aspects of Family health and Wellness, from Pediatrics to Geriatrics. It has been envision by IBMS-IMSIM that graduates of MD in Integrative Medicine among our Nurses, Pharmacist or Allied Health Professionals will function similar to the relationship between licensed Physicians and Physician Assistant in Hospitals in other countries, aside from the fact, that those who have gained an extraordinary expertise will serve as Integrative Medical Consultant. * The main reason given for an expansion of additional modules is that MD (IM) is equivalent to Six (6) Yrs.
