Integrative Health and Medicine specialization

This specialty will give you with the information and skills you need to help your patients or clients manage diseases or symptoms including pain and anxiety. You'll learn about integrative therapies including herbal medicine, guided imagery, aromatherapy, and mindfulness in these five classes. You will learn how to assess if a therapy is appropriate for each one you study, as well as how to: educate patients or consumers about the advantages and disadvantages of various treatments. Administer the therapy or provide advice on how to utilize it, and assess if it was effective (our AEAE approach).

You will be knowledgeable with application techniques, mechanisms of action, and research evidence for various treatments, as well as safety and quality issues, by the completion of this specialty. In other words, you'll be prepared to work with patients to design an integrated treatment plan that meets their requirements and preferences. While the knowledge is primarily geared toward dealing with patients or clients, it is also directly useful to your personal health and well-being.
