A Model Interprofessional Curriculum in Integrative Medicine

描述(由申请人提供)：生物医学与补充和替代医学(CAM)的整合正在许多环境中发生。越来越多的学术保健机构致力于综合医学保健原则，例如病人与医生之间的伙伴关系；合作的、跨专业的保健；以及促进健康和预防疾病。国际移民组织2005年的一份报告建议卫生职业学校将CAM纳入其标准课程；然而，既没有就医学、护理、药学和牙科学生的理想核心能力达成一致，也没有就如何将综合医学纳入这些未来卫生保健提供者的培训(包括跨专业培训)中达成一致。这个为期五年的课程项目的目标是开发、实施、评估和传播综合医学中的多学科、跨专业的课程。四个具体目标是：(1)根据对综合医学专家的全国调查，为核心综合医学内容的跨专业课程制定指导方针；(2)为加州大学旧金山分校的四所学校的学习者设计和实施多学科和可持续的综合医学课程的组成部分；(3)评估已实施的综合医学课程组成部分及其对学习者的影响；以及(4)在地方和全国范围内传播这项课程工作的结果。作为一名医学教育工作者，我参与了直接教学、课程开发、建议和指导、教育管理和教育研究。作为一名医学人类学研究人员，我的兴趣体现在对综合医学和缺乏服务的妇女的健康信念和行为的持续研究中。我不仅致力于继续，而且致力于加强我作为医学教育工作者和研究人员的角色，专注于改善和扩大加州大学旧金山分校和全国健康专业学生、实习生和从业者的综合医学教育。拟议开发的创新、跨专业的综合医学课程最终将增加加州大学旧金山分校综合医学的学术能力和研究支持，并提高领先卫生专业学校综合医学领域的知名度。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Integration of biomedicine and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is occurring in many settings. An increasing number of academic health institutions are committed to integrative medicine health-care principles such as partnership between patient and practitioner; collaborative, interprofessional health care; and promotion of health and the prevention of illness. A 2005 IOM Report recommends that health professions schools incorporate CAM into their standard curricula; however, there is neither agreement on the ideal core competencies for medical, nursing, pharmacy, and dental students nor the ways in which integrative medicine should be included in the training (including interprofessional training) of these future health-care providers. The objective of this five-year curriculum project is to develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate a multidisciplinary, interprofessional curriculum in integrative medicine. The four specific aims are to: (1) develop guidelines, based on a national survey of integrative medicine experts, for an interprofessional curriculum of core integrative medicine content; (2) design and implement components of a multidisciplinary and sustainable integrative medicine curriculum for learners across the four UCSF Schools; (3) evaluate the implemented integrative medicine curriculum components and their impact on learners; and (4) disseminate the results of this curriculum work, both locally and nationally. As a medical educator, I have been involved in direct teaching, curriculum development, advising and mentoring, educational administration, and educational research. As a medical anthropology researcher, my interests are reflected in ongoing study of integrative medicine and underserved women's health beliefs and behaviors. I am committed not only to continuing, but to enhancing my roles as a medical educator and researcher, focusing on the improvement and expansion of integrative medicine education of health professional students, trainees, and practitioners both at UCSF and nationally. The proposed development of an innovative, inter-professional integrative medicine curriculum will ultimately increase both the academic capacity and research support for integrative medicine at UCSF and increase the visibility of the field of integrative medicine at leading health professional schools.
