The International College of Integrative Medicine is a medical association, formerly known as Great Lakes College of Clinical Medicine (GLCCM), and teaching agent for doctors in complementary and alternative medicine, integrating cutting edge new medical science into conventional medicine. As GLCCM this organization ran an IRB (institutional review board)that shut down in 2001 after the FDA demanded compliance with its patient-protection rules. At least 17 doctors associated with GLCCM have faced regulatry action.[1] Most members are MDs or DOs, although Naturopaths, Chiropractors, and other integrative practitioners are also included as associate members. ICIM organizes two conferences a year with internationally known speakers to teach the latest scientific evidence based advancements in medicine. ICIM is a leader in training and research in Heavy Metal Toxicology. Their website is www.icimed.com and provides conference information as well as referrals to the public looking for integrative health care.
