Integrative Health: An Interprofessional Standardized Patient Case for Prelicensure Learners.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Integrative health care and complementary medicine are widely used by the U.S. population, yet health professions learners are typically inadequately educated to counsel patients on the use of these approaches. This interprofessional standardized patient exercise (ISPE) provides learners the opportunity to discuss various health care professionals' roles in caring for a patient interested in integrative health strategies, and to collaborate on a care plan. Utilizing this ISPE format aligns with the principles of integrative health as it requires interprofessional collaboration to address the multifaceted needs of patients.

Methods

The ISPE is approximately three hours in duration, and required of all UCSF, third-year dentistry, physical therapy, and medical stud
