Collaboration, Communication, Health & Healing, from UC Berkeley

Integrative Medicine Series Finale

We will be showing clips from Patch Adams, a motion picture relevant to the challenges facing modern U.S. health care. Each clip will address issues key to transforming the modern health care system in the U.S.

Ryan McNeely, graduate of Cal and SIM alumni, will be facilitating a round-table discussion following each clip. Ryan has studied the culture of medicine around the world and is currently practicing Acupressure in Berkeley, CA.


All attendees should feel welcome to participate in discussion. Professors and students from our neighboring Bay Area schools should feel especially welcome to attend and discuss the future of medicine with us. Ryan has already confirmed the attendance of people from the Pacha Mama Alliance, JFKU Holistic Studies, and Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine Clinic.

Koichi Naruishi

Dr. Koichi is not your typical chiropractor. Rather than adjusting the spine externally, he accesses neural/energetic gateways along the spine, which awakens a spinal energy wave in his clients. This innate healing wave transforms clients from the inside out. Dr. Koichi is a licensed chiropractor and certified Network Spinal Practitioner.
