Exceptional Oncology and Lifestyle Training: A Transformative Professional and Personal Experience

I congratulate AIM and ESLO for organizing the Oncology and Lifestyle Training, which far exceeded my expectations. Participating in this training was highly enriching on both a personal and professional level. It was stimulating and challenging to reflect on and understand Oncology and Lifestyle from an Integrative Medicine perspective. This exceptional training journey spans from research to intervention, with scientific evidence and an outstanding faculty. I recommend this training not only as a valuable professional asset but also for the solidity and seriousness of the teaching, for fostering critical thinking, and for enhancing quality, efficacy, efficiency, and the humanization of professional practice in oncology.
