Transforming Palliative Care:
Essential CE Course for Oncology Providers!
Integrative Oncology (IO) is an increasingly prominent field in cancer care, blending conventional treatments with evidence-based Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CIM) therapies. Surveys consistently reveal that the vast majority of cancer patients incorporate CIM therapies into their treatment plans, highlighting the significance of addressing patient needs holistically.
As more patients turn to CIM therapies and research in this field advances, it becomes critical for the oncology team to routinely check in on their patients’ utilization of these therapies. Understanding patients’ preferences and experiences with CIM therapies is essential for providing personalized, patient-centered care.
To ensure meaningful engagement with patients regarding CIM therapies, it is crucial to integrate team members who have received extra training in IO. The Advanced Integrative Palliative Care course at The Integrative Oncology Institute is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to address patients’ holistic needs effectively.
By incorporating patient perspectives and offering specialized training opportunities, The Integrative Oncology Institute aims to enhance patient-provider communication and provide compassionate, personalized care throughout the cancer journey.
