Introducing the Integrative Office Staff Training Program

For those who work in an integrative medical office, special knowledge and skills are needed. All staff need to understand the basic concepts of integrative medicine, and what makes our treatments unique. Patient advocacy, legal concerns and even marketing are affected by the wider field of integrative medicine. In this training, staff will learn to:

1. Interact with patients in healing, holistic ways

2. Be able to appropriately describe and comprehend common integrative therapies

3. Protect your office from legal concerns

4. Guide patients facing a healing crisis in stress reduction techniques

5. Become “chemical detectives,” identify harmful and useful ingredients in products

6. Join with the main congress to benefit from a wide array of speakers on Food and Nutrition, including Paul Saunders ND, Mark Hyman MD, Mark Housten MD, Tanya Edwards MD, and Doug Graphm DC
