PEDIATRIC INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE CONFERENCE

亚利桑那大学的儿童研究中心和综合医学项目都获得了美国国立卫生研究院替代医学办公室的资助，以建立一个研究儿科替代医学的中心。在创建这个中心的过程中，很明显，在将替代疗法纳入儿科实践的循证方法方面，有巨大的国家利益。我们正在计划的CME会议将汇集来自全国各地的儿科替代医学和补充医学的各种专业知识的从业人员。会议的目标是教育卫生保健专业人员关于儿科的替代/补充疗法，提供关于结果的循证讲座和关于如何将替代疗法整合到传统儿科实践中的实用信息。主题将包括：儿科学中西医结合模式；特殊儿童疾病的补充/替代医学方法；儿科实践中的身心联系生物能源与生物力学愈合；草药/植物药的使用；灵性和治疗；补充/替代医学的流行病学观点。会议的日期是2000年2月18日、19日和20日。本次会议的发起人是：亚利桑那大学，明尼苏达大学，波士顿儿童医院整体儿科教育和研究中心，儿科协会（APA）整体医学特别兴趣小组。

The Children's Research Center and the Program for Integrative Medicine, both at the University of Arizona, are recipients of an NIH grant from the Office of Alternative Medicine to establish a center to study alternative medicine in pediatrics. In the course of creating this center, it has become clear that there is tremendous national interest in an evidence-based approach to integrating alternative therapies into pediatric practice. The CME conference we are planning will bring together practitioners from around the country with various expertise in alternative and complementary medicine in pediatrics. The conference goal is to educate health care professionals about alternative/complementary therapies in pediatrics, to provide evidence-based lectures on outcomes and practical information about how to integrate alternative therapies into traditional pediatric practices. Topics will include: Models of Integrative Medicine in Pediatrics; Complementary/Alternative Medicine Approaches to Specific Childhood Diseases; Mind/Body Connection in Pediatric Practice; Bioenergy and Biomechanical Healing; Use of Herbs/Botanicals; Spirituality and Healing; and Epidemiological Perspective of Complementary/Alternative Medicine. The dates of the conference are February 18th, 19th, and 20th, 2000. The sponsors of this conference are: The University of Arizona, The University of Minnesota, The Center for Holistic Pediatric Education and Research at Children's Hospital of Boston, the Ambulatory Pediatric Association (APA) Special Interest Group on Holistic Medicine.
