How you see a patient determines how you treat them.
How you treat them determines what’s possible for their health.
Anthroposophic Medicine brings a more complete view of the human being into health care.
We offer a philosophy,
a system, and a framework that will cultivate your will to heal.
If you see a number, you manage numbers.
If you see chemistry, you adjust chemistry.
Today, many speak of treating the whole person— body, mind, and spirit. But when “spirit” is undefined, or can’t be translated into clinical practice, it stays conceptual— and care stays partial.
A fuller understanding of the human being makes a fuller form of care possible.
The Physicians Association for Anthroposophic Medicine (PAAM) is a physician member organization dedicated to training all licensed prescribers, including MD, DO, NP, ND, PA, DDS, and PharmD

Benchmarks
ANTHROPOSOPHIC MEDICINE
Celebrating 100 years and the new WHO training benchmarks
Anthroposophic Medicine (AM) has recently celebrated its 100-year anniversary! Punctuating this centennial event is the publication of the international AM training benchmarks by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The AM benchmarks describe the minimum training requirements to practice any AM discipline, including medicine, nursing, midwifery, pharmacy, psychotherapy, dentistry, eurythmy therapy, artistic therapies, and body therapies.
We hope this recognition will increase public awareness and access to Anthroposophic Medicine and Anthroposophic medicinal products (AMPs) and further support developments in areas such as research, clinic facilities, nursing care, medicines and therapies.
