Listening to the Heart
Listening to the heart – both literally and figuratively – is an important part of caring for another human being. Integrative medicine joins these two aspects of health into one holistic approach. Let AIHM help you explore new avenues for patient and self-care through its programs – and let the heart be your guide.

Following Her Heart in Health Care
Dr. Corinne Moll said a “craving for a new approach to health and wellness” for her patients led her to participate in the AIHM Fellowship. Now that she’s fully engaged in the curriculum, she has found that her heart is telling her that viewing health care from a wellness and prevention perspective is the future of medicine. She shared her experience in a Q&A with AIHM.
Dr. Corinne Moll
Q. Why did you decide to participate in the AIHM Fellowship?
A. My motivation to participate in the AIHM Fellowship stemmed from a craving for a new approach to health and wellness for my patients. I wanted to inspire patients to “live well” every day – my universal assignment. As health care providers, we see the challenges of chronic disease on a daily basis. Upon realizing how much of this could be prevented or reversed if patients were empowered with the right tools and knowledge, I needed to dive deeper and learn these skills from experts who were already delivering this type of care. Once I was exposed to viewing health care from a wellness and prevention perspective instead of the disease-focused approach, I could not go backwards. My heart says this is the way health care is meant to evolve.
Q. How has the Fellowship enhanced your enthusiasm for your practice?
A. Investing time in this Fellowship and submersing myself in the curriculum has renewed my enthusiasm for medicine. I have truly appreciated the breadth of health-care faculty who have shared their insights, pearls for practice, and innovative approaches to patient care. The other incredible resource in the Fellowship are the Fellows themselves. It is an outstanding group of care providers with a broad range of experience and depth of knowledge that is shared freely and offered in the spirit of integrated education.
As I engage this educational experience, I feel that I enter my patient interactions with a more open heart, taking into consideration their whole being, body, mind, and spirit. While I wish I could become an expert in all of the areas we explore, I realize that the gift is an awareness and understanding that these additional modalities for healing are part of the broader “community toolbox” available for my patients to pursue. Seeking the root cause of disease and understanding it in the context of each individual’s unique life story is contagious. Through the Fellowship, I have enhanced my ability to cultivate self-efficacy in my patients and encourage them to tap into their individual strengths to create their own path to healing.
Q. What are you looking forward to as next steps once you complete the Fellowship?
A. As an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, women’s health and wellness have always been my passion. I am looking forward to creating innovative ways to inspire women to embrace the health supporting measures that surround them every day – the right nutrition, stress management solutions that can be incorporated into everyday living, development of health-focused daily routines, fostering connectivity with others, and igniting a view of healthful living that extends beyond the traditional boundaries of disease management. They need to know that wellness and vitality are achievable – they are in control. I also want to seek out ways to share my knowledge with the community and collaborate with other providers who can be part of an integrative team. As a bonus, the knowledge I am gaining becomes the way I want to live and to lead by example … for my family, friends and my patients.
