A few comments from our meeting "Innovation!" in Columbus, Oh

Did the CME activity provide a balanced, scientifically rigorous presentation of therapeutic options related to the topic without commercial bias?

Yes-32

"Awesome"

"excellent presentationd by dedicated clinicians that have opened up therapeutic options for my patients"

Impact CME activity may have on your practice?

New thoughts on old subjects

Current data very useful to give to patients -especially those asking for research behind tx, lab and neutriceuticals

I have listed 30 ways I want to do things differently

Improve it!

New ideas for complex patients

Better each time, a great practitioners conference, enough science with a lot of practical clinical material

Compares well, the quality of the speeches and the topics discussed continue to be excellent and topical

Your program continues to improve

How is ICIM different from other meetings?

It deals with subjects that mainstream medicine struggles with or sometimes ignores

the friendship, innovation, and knowledge, the love, connection, and acceptance

home-spun feel, real authentic

more "daring" and international

colleagues and speakers are all "in the trenches"- doing this important work- thank you!

Friendly, doctors who have a passion for wht they do, exciting functional med info with inclusion of energy medicine, etc. the best food!! :)

more time for interaction, more openness between attendees and exhibitors and speakers

Wendy- well organized for fun, friendly environment overflowing with ideas that are practical.

What is your most pressing issue or challenge?

Costs- insurance reimbursement

focusing on the best therapies for each patient

Pressure from the state board

Getting more patients to know we are there!

Marketing, the concepts

None: I was more stressed and challenged attempting to be a round peg in a square box in conventional praactice, now I am free to practice the way I was intended <3 o:p="">

Patients DON'T have the MONEY for testing or "appropriate" treatments

Comments?

Please keep up the excellent work
