“Integrative
Medicine places the patient at the center of the health care team.” Majid Ali, MD, Former President
Capital University of Integrative Medicine (CUIM) was conceived in
1995 to provide education to medical and health practitioners wishing to
incorporate integrative therapies from multiple disciplines of medicine. Responding
to the demands of both practitioners and patients, CUIM embraced a simple
but progressive mission to encourage health care professionals to promote
health assessment and to advance integrative therapies to improve quality
of life, alleviate illness, prevent chronic degenerative diseases, and
reduce premature death.
The founders of the University held that Americans
desire and deserve the opportunity to receive the highest quality of health
care with the broadest range of safe and effective care options. In keeping with this belief, CUIM was
organized in 1995 to educate and develop health care professionals,
including those already in health care practice, to serve the public. The
University dedicated itself to bringing insight and encouragement to those
interested in exploring various forms health assessment and
patient-centered therapeutics.
From 1996 to 2006, CUIM served as a licensed
graduate professional university and the only resident institution of
higher education in the United
States with a curriculum of widely
diverse integrative health therapies. Following a decade of service, CUIM

aims of Capital University of Integrative Medicine continue through its
