Course Overview
This course is a unique experience that includes an evidenced-based overview of holistic and integrative nursing. The latest research on nutrition, nutriceuticals and mind-body-spirit medicine will be presented by experts in the field of integrative holistic health.
The course format includes lectures followed by afternoon interactive workshops. Whether your goal is wellness, enhanced medical knowledge or a renewed sense of spirituality, this course is for you.
Research shows that nearly one in three Americans is utilizing complementary and alternative medicine to supplement conventional care. According to a 2006 Health Forum study, slightly less than 8 percent of American hospitals offered any integrative services in 1999, but by 2004, 18.3 percent of hospitals offered some type of integrative care. By 2006 that number jumped to 25 percent. Patients are now asking their physicians and nurses about the medical value of these treatments and therapies. For these reasons, nurses and other health care providers can benefit from learning about integrative holistic approaches to health and healing.
Who Should Attend
Nursing contact hours are available; however we believe that this course will also be applicable to medical doctors, physician assistants, osteopaths, midwives, pharmacists, psychologists, social workers and other health professionals who are seeking to expand their knowledge to include a mind-body-spirit approach to healing.
