ANASTASI and COLLEAGUES, Center for AIDS Research, Columbia University School of Nursing, 617 W 168th St, Suite 270, New York, NY 10032, USA. jka8@columbia.edu describe the development and incorporation of an integrative therapies subspecialty curriculum into a graduate nursing education program.
Background
The authors describe the development and incorporation of an integrative therapies subspecialty curriculum into a graduate nursing education program.
Methodology
Specialized education in integrative therapies prepares nursing students more thoroughly for primary care practice because many patients now use what is called complementary and alternative medicine in conjunction with standard medical care.
Results
Students learn to determine the safety, efficacy, and cultural significance of complementary and alternative medicine practices of their diverse patient population.
