The College of Medicine (CoM) is a United Kingdom-based organisation founded in October 2010 that grew out of The Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health [1] after it was shut down due to accounting fraud. [2] It is chaired by Michael Dixon, a former director of the Foundation. [3] It promotes alternative medicine.

Former director George Lewith was a council member of the Foundation [4] - his research unit at the University of Southampton played an important role in the development of the foundation. [5]

When the College of Medicine was launched, several commentators writing in the Guardian and the BMJ, expressed the opinion that the new organisation was simply a re-branding of the Prince's Foundation, [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] some describing it as "Hamlet without the Prince". [1]
