History of the Program at Wake Forest University School of Medicine

 

 

An alumna of Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Dr. Caryl J. Guth, endowed the Chair for Holistic and Integrative Medicine through a generous and visionary gift in 2002.  After a national search, Dr. William Applegate, Dean of Wake Forest University School of Medicine, named Kathi Kemper, MD, MPH, as the first Caryl J. Guth, MD Chair for Holistic and Integrative Medicine in 2003.  That same year, holistic and integrative medicine was named an official theme in the Medical School curriculum and Dr. Kemper prepared the Annual Report to the Dean on CAM at WFUBMC.  The 2006 WFUSM Report on Integrative Medicine has been completed and shows tremendous increases in research and publications.  In 2004, WFUSM was accepted into the elite Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine (CAHCIM).  In late 2004, Dr. Applegate and Dr. Richard Dean, President and CEO of Wake Forest University Health Sciences, approved of the new Program’s official title, the Program for Holistic and Integrative Medicine (PHIM).
