J. Adam Rindfleisch, MPhil, MD, is a professor with the University of Wisconsin Department of Family Medicine and Community Health. He graduated from the College of Idaho with a combined degree in chemistry, zoology, and religious studies.
As a Rhodes Scholar, Adam completed a Masters of Philosophy at Oxford University in Comparative Social Research, which allowed him to learn about complementary approaches practiced worldwide.
He completed medical school at Johns Hopkins and then a family medicine residency at University of Wisconsin. In 2005, Dr. Rindfleisch completed the University of Arizona Integrative Medicine Fellowship and the University of Wisconsin (UW) Academic Integrative Health Fellowship.
He directed the University of Wisconsin fellowship for the next ten years and created a comprehensive, two-year integrative health curriculum. After a period of directing the Integrative Health Program at UW, he spent two and a half years as a founding Vice Dean of Education at the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine. He has now returned to the University of Wisconsin to continue patient care and teaching in integrative and family medicine.
His team from the University of Wisconsin worked in coordination with the VA Office of Patient Centered Care & Cultural Transformation to create educational materials for the VA Whole Health Education Website, including over 50 Veteran handouts and the Passport to Whole Health reference guide. The University of Wisconsin Osher Center for Integrative Health site also has numerous resources, at https://www.fammed.wisc.edu/integrative/.
Some of Adam’s main interests include clinician self-care, spirituality and health, dietary supplements, biofield therapies, and curriculum design. He loves to read, write, and travel. He has two really tall sons and an amazing fiancee who lives in Maui.
Dr. Rindfleisch is committed to making Integrative Whole Health approaches more accessible at both the local and national levels, through education of clinicians and the people who seek their care, and feels that his contributions to International Integrators and Living Whole Online are important to that commitment.
