Trott Professorship Honors Melinda Ring’s Leadership in Integrative Health
Melinda R. Ring, MD, FACP, ABOIM, director of the Osher Center for Integrative Health, was vested in September as the inaugural Tina Trott Professor of Integrative Health, a new professorship named for advocate, partner and friend Tina Trott.
The professorship, which provides crucial resources for research and training, was established thanks to the generosity of a donor cohort led by Tina Trott. Many of these donors are members of the Osher Center for Integrative Health's advisory council for Integrative Medicine: Advising with Awareness, Resources and Education, which has played a vital role in advancing integrative health initiatives. Since joining the council six years ago, Trott has been a dedicated supporter of integrative health in modern medicine.
