National Academy of Medicine
Founded in 1970 as the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) is one of three Academies that make up the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies) in the United States. Operating under the 1863 Congressional charter of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academies are private, nonprofit institutions that work outside of government to provide objective advice on matters of science, technology, and health. Studies from the National Academies are often congressionally mandated or commissioned by government agencies, and their recommendations can have lasting impact on domestic and global policy.www.nam.edu

Elia ColeHOST
You were talking about care you received within a particular clinical setting, and you said, I got the best care that I could possibly get by working as a team and not simply by being the recipient and the object of care, but to actually be cared for and to care for the person who is caring for me.
Elia ColeHOST
That distinction between being the object of care versus being cared for, I think a lot of patients haven't really considered that difference.

DavidHOST
This last year, as we've watched Dr. Hyman develop into really the icon for where functional medicine goes in the clinic, with his testimony to the Senate, with his work with the Institute of Medicine, with his extraordinary advocacy through his public television programs, his books, his celebrity status as it pertains to putting functional medicine on the map.
DavidHOST
These are all kind of the legacies that come out of the spade work that Mark has done for many years in grooming his talents and refining his skills and doing what all good functional medicine practitioners do, serving first their patients.
DavidHOST
Mark is a deserved individual to receive the Linus Pauling Award because he embodies so many of the characteristics that really underlie Linus Pauling's life, the life of the mind, the pursuit of excellence, and the fearlessness to create sometimes new ideas in the face of old which are met with resistance.
