Integrative Providers Association Speaker Guidelines
Integrative Providers Association (IPA) is seeking Speakers for our 2024 Conferences. The IPA Conference (IPAC) aims to connect and unite all licensed medical specialties, professionals, quality-minded experts, faculty and students, non-professional medical support and organizations and their leaders who focus on health and wellness in delivering quality health care to share their knowledge.
The Joint-Accredited IPA Conference coursework focuses on all aspects of integrative medicine, including integrative solutions, health trends and modalities to integrate into practice, holistic-based care trends in an effort to improve patient outcomes in a rapidly changing healthcare system.
Who We Are Looking For:
- Health care leaders, professionals, scientists, researchers and experts in their field of medicine who wish to share and preserve their knowledge with a 501(c)(6) nonprofit that aims to protect and produce knowledge for the future of medicine.
- Speakers who can keep our audience engaged and informed utilizing evidence-based education while following accreditation rules and ethics at the same time.
- Ability to attend the conference in-person and complete the speaker requirements in a timely manner.
- Leaders in Medicine to share their expertise with IPA Members and attendees to fulfill the mission of IPA.
What We Are Looking For:
Lectures will fall under one of two categories:

- “The Fringe”: Is your lecture ahead of its time? Speak on The Fringe stage where lecturers are exploring the knowledge of yesterday and tomorrow with emerging theories, data and innovative modalities, inventions and practices that are ahead of their times and do not meet the accreditation requirements. This is where bleeding-edge concepts, science and medicine bend the envelope of knowledge-seekers and thrillers to see what’s next in the future of medicine. Time: Open | Max. 50 minutes

- Ethics, Morals, Values, Codes of Conduct: Education, Entrepreneurship, Products/Brands and the Practice of Medicine (i.e. selling/promoting personal product lines/businesses while practicing medicine in today’s times (2024). Can a provider practice and promote/sell personal products? If not, why are providers peddling personal product lines in Cannabis? Is this an ethical dilemma that is being crossed over into today’s times? How do we protect patients/consumers from bad actors?
- Patient Safety: New Technologies being discovered/promoted. How do providers safeguard new technologies and treatments that patients want or are using in their continuum of care? How do we keep patients safe legally and ethically? Can there be too many modalities that patients are using that may cause harm or the body’s inability to rest/heal efficiently and effectively?
- Product Safety: Not every product is created equal. How do providers educate their patients/customers on what to look out for? i.e. Snake Salesman of the past in the 1900’s- History of medicine. How do we safeguard products? Product Testing- Certificate of Analysis (COA’s) yet even still tainted if products are making it through state regulations. Recall of products- current laws.
- Environmental Health: Where are we? Changes needed? Food/ Farming Sustainability, Weather Changes, Clean Water, Shelter, Pollution, 5G, etc.
- Ethics in Medical Education: Accredited Conferences vs. “I’m an Expert” non-accredited conferences that Pay-to-Play. Zoom or Podcasts, are they valid sources for information for licensed professionals? How does one assure all is evidence-based and/or fact checked? Misinformation, Dr. Google and W3 innovations in technology.
- Highlight System Failures Providing Solutions: How do we direct/change the narrative? What are solutions to the system failures?
- Regulatory Changes: Lobbying/Activism. New Laws, Needed Laws or Updating new laws. How does one include activism/lobbying efforts in their practice? Should I/my patients get involved? How do I/patients get involved?
