Mary Greeley Medical Center Grand Rounds is a multi-disciplinary clinical activity which serves to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public or the profession.  

Target Audience

Physicians, mid-level providers, nurses and healthcare administrators.

Learning Objectives

1. Understand current use of CAM (Complementary Alternative Medicine)/Integrative Medicine in the U.S.
2. Develop practical approach to assessing risks and benefits of various therapies.
3. Incorporate evidence-based therapies into practice for patient (and personal) wellbeing.

Professional Gap

Many patients fail to fully disclose their use of CAM therapies. Not knowing which therapies a patient is using can lead to adverse effects, especially in the case of patients using dietary supplements. Asking every patient about their use of CAM is an imporant part of the history for each patient.
