Since 2021, the Interprofessional Research Training Group for Integrative Medicine and Health Sciences IGIM has existed at Witten/Herdecke University. The IGIM offers a cross-university structured doctoral program to ensure a solid scientific education for young scientists (master's and doctoral theses) in integrative medicine.
Participation in the agenda of the Graduate College is free of charge after admission. A prerequisite for the application for the plan of the IGIM is participation in the introductory seminar. The seminar, which includes lectures and workshops on the basics of scientific work and research methods with concrete examples from integrative medicine, will start at 2 p.m. on Friday, September 29, 2023, and end at 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 30. Small groups with doctoral supervisors can develop and discuss specific research questions. Participation and on-site meals are free; participants must provide their travel and accommodations.
The application deadline for the introductory seminar is September 15. Anyone interested in doing a Ph.D./Master thesis in Integrative Medicine can apply by emailing IGIM@uni-wh.de with a CV and a letter of motivation (1.5 to 2 pages).
Further information about the IGIM can be found on the website of the UW/H. A flyer for the introductory seminar can be downloaded here.
