Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) - Mind-Body Practices

There is an increase in awareness and use among our patients relating to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). As the prevalence of CAM increases, as a healthcare professional, you are asked about the efficacy and safety of these practices. In that environment, having a base-level knowledge of the science of these alternatives to traditional medicine is important. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is broken down into two main practices: natural products and mind-body. In this course, we will focus on mind-body practices. Current evidence for their use, both scientific and anecdotal, will be provided and discussed. Included are links to resources that will assist in the discussions you have with your patients.
