Individual and Group Mentoring
For millennia, medicine was learned through apprenticeship, with students learning alongside seasoned physicians over many years. This hands-on approach emphasized careful observation and the steady cultivation of skill toward mastery. To support a more individualized approach to patient care, PAAM offers both individual and group mentoring with experienced physicians certified in AM. Completion of at least one prior course is required to apply.

Begin Your Journey
A spiritual approach to medicine begins with enlivening the way you look at the world.
This can be key not only for physicians struggling with burnout, but for all healers in need of renewal.
“My first Anthroposophical Medicine course in 2008 was a game-changer for my career path. It opened my eyes to an international medical movement that has been blossoming for almost a century. This medical movement views the human being not just in a physical, biological sense, but includes in its view the human being as a potentially evolving spiritual being. Having this wider view of the possibilities of each human being improved how I felt about practicing medicine and was necessary for me to feel good about my relationship with patients. Who will benefit from the this training? Anyone who has a longing to go deep into the heart of medicine and a yearning to understand why a human being really becomes ill. Anthroposophic Medicine is a holistic medicine that begins with its foundation in conventional medicine, but adds new dimensions that allow a practitioner to penetrate into the deeper layers of each unique, individual patient.”
