This is the podcast’s 100th episode! (Give or take an ICYMI episode.) We are coming full circle with today’s guest—John Pan, MD ’70, RESD ’74, the Father of Integrative Medicine at the GW School of Medicine & Health Sciences (SMHS), the Office’s founding medical director, and the founder of the GW Center for Integrative Medicine. Sitting in are co-hosts Dr. Leigh Frame, Dr. Misha Kogan, and Janette Rodrigues.

Historically, GW was on the leading edge of the Integrative Medicine movement. Early on, the SMHS recognized the value of combining conventional and complementary medical therapies into health care. In 1998, Dr. Pan, then a clinical professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, founded the GW Center for Integrative Medicine, one of the first of its kind to be established at an academic medical institution.

Dr. Frame is now the Chief Wellness Officer of GW Medicine, Executive Director of the Office of Integrative Medicine & Health, Director/Research Director of the GW Resiliency & Well-being Center, Associate Professor in the Departments of Clinical Research & Leadership and Physician Assistant Studies and co-director of the Frame-Corr Lab here at GW.

Dr. Kogan is the Chief Medical Office of the GW Center for Integrative Medicine, Associate Professor of Medicine here at GW, Founder of the nonprofit Access to Integrative Medicine Health Institute, and author of "Medical Marijuana: Dr. Kogan's Evidence-Based Guide to the Health Benefits of Cannabis and CBD."
