Deepak Chopra, MD, will be the keynote speaker for the 2018 Integrative Healthcare Symposium, taking place Feb. 22-24 in New York City.
 
Dr. Chopra is a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation, who has published more than 85 books including 25 New York Times best-sellers. In 1999, TIME magazine named him one of the Top 100 heroes and icons of the century, calling him “the poet-prophet of alternative medicine.”
 
In his Integrative Healthcare Symposium keynote talk, scheduled for Friday, Feb. 23, 10:30 am at the New York Hilton Midtown, Dr. Chopra will share new insights from his latest work, The Healing Self. The 1.5-hour address will explore the paradigm shift in medical science toward more personal responsibility for one’s health and well-being, including evidence-based connections between higher consciousness and physical healing.
 
Dr. Chopra joins an esteemed community of physicians, integrative practitioners, researchers, and thought leaders speaking at and attending the conference, many of whom return every year to gain the very latest clinical takeaways, hear about emerging research, and network with some of the biggest names in integrative health, all while earning continuing medical education (CME) credits.

Clum, DC; integrative health policy advocate and The Power of Self-Care author Nancy Gahles, DC, CCH, MBSR; Grain Brain author David Perlmutter, MD; and acclaimed integrative neurologist and The Mind of God author Jay Lombard, DO.
