Cultivate Your Will to Heal
If you feel something emerging beyond your comprehension, that your current training does not address
If you have lost your enthusiasm for healing, and are caught in a duty-oriented routine that you worry will end in burnout or despair
If you already know a little about anthroposophy, and/or have a yearning to explore beyond the physical and intellectual
We offer a philosophy, a system, and a framework that will cultivate your will to heal.
The Physicians Association for Anthroposophic Medicine (PAAM) is a member organization dedicated to providing MDs, DOs, NDs, NPs, PAs, dentists, and pharmacists tools for change.

Medicine with Meaning
We asked Anthroposophic physicians to share their perspectives on what makes Anthroposophic Medicine different than other approaches. Their personal stories are both powerful and inspiring. If you would like to explore this path for yourself, we warmly invite you to attend a training week with us. We also offer webinars, that, although they are not in person, still allow you to get a taste of the deep insights that are available and the transformations that are possible. Video below.

Benchmarks
ANTHROPOSOPHIC MEDICINE
Celebrating 100 years and the new WHO training benchmarks
Anthroposophic Medicine (AM) has recently celebrated its 100-year anniversary! Punctuating this centennial event is the publication of the international AM training benchmarks by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The AM benchmarks describe the minimum training requirements to practice any AM discipline, including medicine, nursing, midwifery, pharmacy, psychotherapy, dentistry, eurythmy therapy, artistic therapies, and body therapies. These training guidelines were written by dedicated AM clinicians and are a great validation of the work of Rudolf Steiner and Ita Wegman, MD and the world-wide medical movement they began 100 years ago. The WHO benchmarks for training in AM are part of a series of benchmarks published for traditional, complementary and integrative medicine (TCI), which includes ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, osteopathy, naturopathy, Nuad Thai, tui na, and Unani medicine. The aim of this series is to provide a useful reference for policy-makers, healthcare providers, educators and the general public as part of an international effort to integrate, as appropriate, traditional and complimentary medical services into national health systems. We hope this recognition will increase public awareness and access to AM and Anthroposophic medicinal products (AMPs) and further support developments in areas such as research, clinic facilities, nursing care, medicines and therapies.
