Training & Events

To achieve this goal in creating a comprehensive integrative mission, a gathering of all members (a conclave) is held twice annually.  One is held in Boise, Idaho and the other in a designated location voted on by the majority of members. Conclaves are intended to be a dynamic learning experience and are designed to present a forum where all systems of healing come together to compare notes on their findings as it may pertain to the mission of making sick people well.

To retain membership within the Independent Order of Missionary Medicine, one must attend at least one conclave every two years.

Please visit our website (QVIUS) QUANTUM-VERITAS International University Systems, (the sponsoring institution of the Independent Order of Missionary Medicine) offers a full range of programs in the healing arts, leading to a Doctor of Dynamic Natural Medicine and Missionary Medical Practitioner Certificate.
