Everyone deserves to live their best life
Do you have loved ones or patients with serious illness?
Do they have unresolved pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety or distress?
Do you feel frustrated when you can't relieve their suffering?
Medications can be helpful, but sometimes they aren't enough. The integrative approach to serious illness is the answer, and the Integrative Palliative Institute (IPI) can teach you what you need to know.
Whether you are a physician, other clinician or a serious illness has impacted you or your family member, IPI can give you the confidence and tools to make things better. Dr. Chiaramonte, founder of IPI, provides clinician education and mentoring, patient education and serious illness coaching for family members of people with serious illness.
Physicians...
When your patient is crying, do you know how best to help?
What tools, other than medications, do you have in your pain management toolbox,?
If your patient's anxiety is compromising treatment, do you know what to do, other than benzodiazepines, to help them?
If your patient (or your parent) asks, "Am I dying?" do you know just what to say?

A more satisfying way to practice
The Integrative Palliative Approach
If you are interested in relieving suffering and reconnecting with the joy of medical practice, the integrative palliative approach is for you.
- A focus on relieving physical, emotional and spiritual suffering
- Evidence-informed use of complementary treatments, such as acupuncture, guided imagery and massage
- Skilled and thoughtful use of medications for pain, nausea, fatigue, GI distress, depression, anxiety, stress and difficult family communication
- Advanced counseling skills such as positive psychology and mindfulness
- Commitment to physician, and healthcare provider, wellbeing because you can't pour from an empty cup
As an integrative palliative physician, or healthcare provider, you might imagine yourself walking beside your patient on their illness journey. You cannot change the destination but you can add joy to, and remove distress from, the trip.
