Residency: UMKC Family Medicine Residency, Truman Lakewood
Dr. Angela Barnett has been weaving various experiences in the field of health and wellness into her personal and professional life for over 25 years. A long standing interest in nutritional approaches to healing and wellness inspired her to pursue a medical career with an open mind towards alternative and complementary therapies. After completing her residency in Family Medicine at UMKC,
she was chosen to complete a Fellowship in Integrative Medicine hosted by Dr. Andrew Weil, at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Here, her expertise in integrative care solidified and she further developed her interests in restoring and maintaining health through the combination of traditional medical modalities and functional nutritional medicine, mind-body therapies, botanicals, and other alternative approaches. She has further trained in Anti-aging and Regenerative medicine.
Her approach to care is to develop individualized, client-centered programs that view health in the context of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance to facilitate wellness
and achieve optimal healing.
Academically, she enjoys teaching medical students and residents both Family Medicine and Integrative Medicine. She holds appointments as Assistant Clinical Professor of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Missouri in Kansas City and at the University of NewMexico in Albuquerque and continues to be involved in both medical schools serving as faculty in charge of curriculum development in Integrative Medicine and promotion of health and wellness programs. Currently, she is serving as Medical Director for Truman Medical Center’s ongoing projects to develop Integrative Medicine Programs.
