Andrew Heyman, MD, MHSA is an internationally recognized expert in Integrative Medicine. He is currently the Program Director of Integrative and Metabolic Medicine at The George Washington University. Prior to assuming this role, he spent 16 years at the University of Michigan, serving to build one of the largest and most successful academic-based Integrative Medicine programs in the United States.   In 1990, he received formal training in Five-element Shiatsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine, during which time he developed an interest in increasing access of natural therapies to underserved populations while partnering with the University of Pennsylvania. He continued this work with Jim Gordon, MD at the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington DC exploring the intersection between public health, at risk groups, and alternative therapies.   Dr. Heyman eventually went on to receive a Masters in Health Services Administration at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and upon graduation, became the administrator for the University of Michigan Complementary and Alternative Medicine Research Center where he was responsible for administering a $7 million NIH grant to research alternative therapies for cardiovascular diseases. The center was one of the first in the country to place alternative therapies and their scientific examination in an academic context.   Dr. Heyman has held several leadership positions in the field of Integrative Medicine. He was the national clinical working group co-chair of the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine for 4 years, a collaboration of 57 North American universities involved in Integrative Medicine. He is the online editor for the Journal of Men's Health in the section of Integrative Medicine, and he also holds the position of Editor-In-Chief of the Internet Journal of Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine. His research interests include the Stress response and NeuroEndocrinology, Cardiometabolic Disease, Men's Health and clinical outcomes research methodologies.   Dr. Heyman remains clinically active as well, as the owner of a four-physician integrative medicine practice in Northern Virginia at the Virginia Center for Health and Wellness. He is also the President of Integrative Health Resources, a small group of clinical experts that consults to physicians, health systems and public health professionals seeking to develop wellness, lifestyle and nutrition programs.   Finally, Dr. Heyman has been featured on the Discovery Channel, Martha Stewart Living Magazine, Ladies Home Journal, Natural Health Magazine and appeared in many other TV and print venues and is a widely sought after, and celebrated speaker around the world on many Integrative Medicine topics. His teaching approach is described as deeply rooted in scientific evidence, grounded in the clinical reality of expert patient care, and readily accessible to both the new learner and seasoned practitioner alike.

Dr. Victoria Maizes is executive director of the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, chief of the UA Division of Integrative Medicine and a professor of medicine, family medicine and public health. Internationally recognized as a leader in integrative medicine, she stewarded the growth of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine from a small program educating four residential fellows per year to a designated "Center of Excellence" that trains more than 500 residents and fellows annually. Dr. Maizes has pioneered multiple innovative educational programs including the Integrative Family Medicine Program, and Integrative Medicine in Residency, two national models for educating primary care physicians. As founding co-chair of the education committee of the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine—the mission of which is to promote integrative medicine, she has led a team of educators in developing objectives for medical students in integrative medicine. Her passion for women's health makes her ideal for a discussion on fertility and the best path forward for a woman wanting to become a mother. Her book, Be Fruitful, is a road map leading to the best pregnancy and child outcomes. We discuss the root causes of infertility and maternal disease. Dr. Maizes teaches us the pathway to be followed for a mother to be in order to unwind the antecedent risk factors for infertility and disease. I hope that you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Maizes, Dr. M

Listen NowRecently the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) (formerly the Institute of Medicine) released it's "Effective Care for High-Need Patients, Opportunities for Improving Outcomes, Value and Health."  The report attempts to address a long-standing problem in health care delivery, e.g., five percent of patients ("high-need" patients) account for, or consume, 50 percent of health care resources.  That is if these patients were identified in a more timely manner and better managed overall health care spending could be substantially reduced.   Beyond the complexities involved in managing care for these highly co-morbid patients, the US does a comparatively poor job of coordinating or blending clinical care with non-clinical social service supports these patients need to mitigate their functional status limitations.     During this 28 minute conversation Ms. Abrams discusses among other things the NAM work group's efforts to calculate methods for identifying high-need or super utilizers, or more generally developing patient categorization schemes, the importance of accompanying clinical care with social service supports for those patients with functional status limitations, how/why the 14 profiled providers in the report are able to provide comprehensive quality care for these patients, and the need for improved reimbursement models to allow for or support such care. Ms. Melinda Abrams is currently Vice President at The Commonwealth Fund.  Since 1997 she has worked on, among other projects, the Fund's Task Force on Academic Health Centers, the Child Development and Prevention Care Program and most recently has led the Patient-Centered Coordinated Care Program.  Ms. Abrams has served on numerous national boards and committees for federal agencies and private organizations and as a peer-reviewer for several health care journals.  She is the recipient of the Champion Award from the Primary Care Development Corporation and a Primary Care Community Research Leadership Award from the Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative.  Ms. Abrams earned her undergraduate degree from Cornell and her M.S. in health policy and management from the Harvard School of Public Health. The NAM report is at: https://nam.edu/effective-care-for-high-need-patients/For more on the Commonwealth Fund's work go to: http://www.commonwealthfund.org/  This is a public episode.
