Anthroposophic Medicine celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2020
The Physicians' Association for Anthroposophic Medicine strives to facilitate personal contact and exchange of knowledge between Anthroposophic physicians, with other health practitioners and organizations, with patients, and the general public. PAAM is a volunteer, physician-run 501c3 non-profit and is the ONLY organization in the United States of its kind!
Across the country, physicians and medical students are searching for a more human, whole approach to healing. At PAAM, we are working to meet that need—and we’re inviting you to help us bring this work to the wider medical community.
Over the past year, we’ve redesigned our physician training into a new three-year hybrid certification program that blends in-person intensives with flexible online learning. We’re launching new CME accreditation for courses, a Masterclass for physician certification, and expanding our medical outreach program —Help the Healers, by featuring a free podcast entitled Claiming Wholeness, designed to bring regenerative medical thinking to doctors beyond the Anthroposophic community.
At the same time, our Mistletoe and Integrative Oncology programs continue to bring new prescribers into the movement, and the Foundation for Health Creation is now reaching thousands of families, teachers, and communities with accessible health education.
To grow this momentum, we are raising $65,000 to fund four key initiatives in 2026:
A Development Director to expand our reach and strengthen PAAM’s long-term sustainability
Help the Healers launch and marketing
CME development for AM courses
New health resources for Waldorf schools and virtual school-doctor support
Your gift—large or small—directly fuels this next stage of outreach, education, and transformative medicine. With your partnership, more clinicians will discover tools that reconnect medicine with meaning, purpose, and wholeness.
You can make a one-time or recurring donation through our administrative website or by check mailed to P.O. Box 880, Moab, UT 84532. We would be honored to welcome you into this work.
With gratitude,
The PAAM Board & Team

All donations to PAAM contribute significantly to supporting future generations of Anthroposophic Medicine practitioners and to ensuring patients remain free to make well-informed choices regarding their healthcare.
Often the inspiration of a single individual provides the needed spark to create an enduring flame. Such inspiration has led to the establishment of two specific initiatives within PAAM: the Dr. Philip Incao Fund for Spiritual Science & Medicine, dedicated to doctors who are striving to deepen their study and commitment to Anthroposophy as an inner path; and the Ita Wegman Fund, dedicated to making Anthroposophic Medicine more visible in the US and to providing financial assistance to medical students and new doctors who could not otherwise afford to attend AM training opportunities.
The Dr. Philip Incao Fund for Spiritual Science & Medicine
Dr. Philip Incao is well known as one of the leading pioneers and outspoken advocates of Anthroposophic Medicine in our country. Prior to crossing the threshold in March of 2022, Dr. Incao shared with us the legacy he would like to leave to future generations of spiritual scientists and medical practitioners, aside from the deep insights and wisdom he has already shared with students, mentees, fellow practitioners and patients throughout the decades. To honor his desire to support interested and motivated doctors who want to deepen their Anthroposophic understanding and spiritual schooling, we have established a fund specifically devoted to offering financial assistance for doctors and medical students wanting to attend Medial Section offerings and other Anthroposophic conferences and trainings focused on spiritual science.
PAAM is dedicated to training doctors and medical students in the art and practice of Anthroposophic Medicine, bringing forward best practices and highlighting the ways Anthroposophic Medicine corresponds with, enlivens and enhances the practice of integrative and conventional medicine.
We are also building the future of mistletoe therapy in North America as we educate practitioners in research and best practices through our Best Practices in Mistletoe and Integrative Oncology Courses and the published book, Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative Oncology.
PAAM is supporting and sponsoring doctors and nurses to speak and present research at critical academic and integrative symposiums and conferences, and to attend and speak at important events and school programs. We are making connections and developing dynamic working relationships with other organizations to bring strength to the impulse of better health for everyone. We're developing collaborative dialogues with academic organizations and institutions to bring forward better education and additional research. All the while, we continue working diligently to make the current information and research more accessible through projects like the AnthroMed Library. Additionally, we're developing initiatives to educate professionals and the public about Anthroposophic Medicine and to address the unfortunate amount of misinformation and misrepresentation of our forms of medicine and therapy. We're also working with homeopathic colleagues to prevent the proposed major FDA restrictions and Anthroposophic and homeopathic medicines. We have made good strides in past years, but there is still much to be done.
The Foundation for Health Creation
PAAM has launched a patient and public health platform to foster health creation and to develop resources for parents, families, communities and individuals to assist in navigating the challenges to being healthy and resilient in our modern-day world. Through the free seasonal e-newsletter and other free and low-cost resources, we are addressing topics such as home health, anxiety, nutrition, technology, vaccines, end of life care, pro-active health practices, environmental medicine, toxicology, the development of health resilience, and so much more. Visit the webpage at foundationforhealthcreation.org for more information and to subscribe to the e-newsletter.
Academic Research and New Medical Facilities
A Phase I Clinical Trial of mistletoe therapy was recently conducted by the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. A Phase II trial will require substantial monetary support, and there are other important ongoing and potential mistletoe studies in need of funding. There is also growing interest among the integrative oncology community to look collaboratively at feasibility and legislative changes that would allow for the growth of Anthroposophic Medicine and integrative medicine. Legislative activity and the development of clinic and hospital programs able to demonstrate the efficacy of Anthroposophic Medicine are greatly needed, and projects such as these will require significant funding and grants to make them a reality.
If you would like to donate your time or expertise to any of our initiatives, we would love to hear from you! If you have questions about making a donation or are interested in making a substantial monetary contribution in the form of an endowment or grant, please write to the PAAM Board at connect@anthroposophicmedicine.org.
