3rd Generation Medicine is Data Driven Personalized Medicine

The 3rd Generation Medicine Lab! (3GML) has the responsibility for developing, reviewing, and ratifying specifications intended as proven Integrative Medicine Standards. 3GML activities are organized into working groups (WGs), each under the direction and guidance of one or more WG Chairperson. This site describes the structure and operation of the 3GML, the structural relationship between participating working groups and the Medicine 3.0 Steering Group (M3), as well as the basic duties of 3GML participants, including WG Chairs, WG participants, and 3GM Area Directors.

In its work, the 3rd Generation Medicine Lab! strives to:

• Ensure Integrative Medicine is a trusted medical practice and a necessary evolution of the medical industry, built on solid medical foundation in an age of pervasive and rapidly changing environmental impacts.

• Establish the technical direction for Integrative Medicine, supporting the full vision of 3rd Generation Medicine to improve practice of overall health and wellbeing to flourish for billions.

• Promote accelerated Integrative Medicine adoption, recognizing the immense complexity of medicine, medical practice and the medical industry, particularly the many liabilities, costs and regulatory frameworks, which both protect patients while also greatly restricting 2nd to 3rd Generation Medicine evolutionary transition.

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative Medicine definition: Integrative medicine combines the most well-researched conventional medicine with the most well-researched, evidence-based complementary therapies to achieve the appropriate care for each person. (Mayo Clinic)
