American Holistic Medical Association

What American Holistic Medical Association does

The American Holistic Medical Association operates today as the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM), a nonprofit professional membership organization headquartered at 6919 La Jolla Blvd., La Jolla, California. The organization was formerly known as the American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA) and has been rebranded to AIHM to reflect an expanded mission around integrative and "Whole Health" approaches. AIHM unites, educates, and empowers health professionals — primarily physicians, nurse practitioners, and other integrative health practitioners — through fellowship training, certificate and residency programs, continuing medical education (CME) courses, an annual conference, and a public-facing provider directory.

Its core product portfolio includes the Integrative Medicine Fellowship (transitioning in 2025 to a partnership with Thomas Jefferson University's Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at a reduced tuition of $24,000), the Certificate in Integrative and Whole Health Practice, the Integrative Health Residency Program, an annual conference scheduled for October 20–24, 2026 at the Music City Center in Nashville, TN, individual CME courses, and an eLearning platform at learn.aihm.org. Distribution is membership-driven through individual and organizational membership tiers, supported by a Find a Provider directory (members.aihm.org/find-a-provider) that connects patients with member practitioners.

AIHM monetizes through four primary streams: recurring membership dues (individual and organizational), educational program fees (fellowships, certificates, residency, courses), annual conference registration and exhibitor fees (with a newly restructured 2025 pricing schedule), and donations plus annual sponsorships from supporters including the Miraglo Foundation, the Taylor Family Foundation, and other founding fellowship supporters. The organization has approximately 6 employees, no disclosed revenue or funding rounds, no parent company or venture/PE ownership, and operates as a member-supported association.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Association: The AMA is the largest U.S. physician membership association, offering membership, education, advocacy, and credentialing — the same fundamental model AIHM uses, but at vastly greater scale and across all of medicine rather than integrative health specifically.
• Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is a large professional membership association delivering credentialing, conferences, and education to dietitians. Its membership and education model parallels AIHM's, even though clinical scope (nutrition) differs.

Direct peers

• American Academy of Family Physicians: AAFP is a physician membership organization that delivers CME, conferences (FMX), and education to a defined clinical community. AIHM explicitly co-locates its conference at AAFP FMX, reflecting direct overlap in member/audience and event-based revenue model.
• American Association of Naturopathic Physicians: AANP is the U.S. professional association for naturopathic physicians, offering membership, annual conferences, and continuing education. It competes with AIHM for integrative and holistic practitioners seeking community, training, and advocacy.
• Integrative Medicine for the Underserved: IM4US is a nonprofit membership community of integrative medicine clinicians serving underserved populations. It mirrors AIHM's professional-association model and mission of advancing integrative practice, particularly where it intersects with the Miraglo Foundation's underserved-care focus.
• Institute for Functional Medicine: IFM is the leading membership, education, and certification body for functional and integrative medicine practitioners. It competes directly with AIHM for the same practitioner audience pursuing integrative medicine training and credentials.
• Academic Collaborative for Integrative Health: ACIH is a membership-based collaborative of integrative health and medicine organizations; AIHM even runs an 'ACIH Council' on its own site. ACIH directly mirrors AIHM's mission of convening integrative-health professionals and organizations around whole-person care.

Emerging players

• Society for Integrative Oncology: SIO is a multidisciplinary professional society advancing integrative approaches in oncology. It shares AIHM's integrative medicine framing and education/membership model, though narrower in clinical focus (oncology only).
• International Association of Yoga Therapists: IAYT is a professional membership organization for yoga therapists that delivers credentialing, conferences, and education. It operates in a narrower modality (yoga therapy) within the broader integrative-health ecosystem where AIHM competes for practitioner mindshare.

Others

• National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health: NCCIH is the U.S. federal agency that funds and disseminates research on complementary and integrative health. It is not a membership body, but it shapes the same Whole Health/integrative policy environment AIHM leverages for positioning and education demand.
