BCIM was founded in 2007 in order to establish professional education in Integrative Medicine for healthcare professionals. Initially the College ran a Diploma in the Study of Integrative Medicine in academic collaboration with Professor Karol Sikora and Buckingham University. The first graduates were presented to HRH the Prince of Wales in 2012. BCIM is currently focusing on providing courses and training designed to meet the Continuing Professional Development needs of healthcare professionals.
Through the learning that you do within our teachers’ Discovery and Training courses, quite simply one hour of study equals one CPD credit from the British College of Integrative Medicine (BCIM). You will receive certificates for credits as you complete your courses to add to your professional portfolio. These courses and credits are aimed at all healthcare professionals as well as members of the public wishing to broaden their understanding of the proactive approach to healthcare and self-help.
If you wish to pursue a career in Integrative Medicine, you can build a personalised course of study with the support of our team, and receive a Certificate in Integrative Medicine with 600 hours of core subject study and a Diploma in Integrative Medicine with 1200 hours of core and specialised study. These higher BCIM qualifications are aimed at doctors, nurses, pharmacists and therapists wishing to specialise in IM.
Since 2017 academic study to Diploma level is offered at the Portland Centre for Integrative Medicine (PCIM) under the Directorship of Dr Elizabeth Thompson. The PCIM Education Department have developed the Diploma for Integrative Medicine with the College of Medicine. The Diploma is certified by the Crossfields Institute.
