A Model Interprofessional Curriculum in Integrative Medicine

描述（由申请人提供）：生物医学和补充和替代医学（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疗保健原则，例如病人和医生之间的伙伴关系；协作的跨专业卫生保健；促进健康和预防疾病。2005年国际移民组织的一份报告建议卫生专业学校将辅助医学纳入其标准课程；然而，对于医学、护理、药学和牙科学生的理想核心能力，以及将中西医结合纳入这些未来卫生保健提供者的培训（包括跨专业培训）的方式，目前既没有达成一致意见。这个为期五年的课程项目的目标是开发、实施、评估和传播一个多学科、跨专业的中西医结合课程。四个具体目标是：(1)根据对全国中西医结合专家的调查，为核心中西医结合内容的跨专业课程制定指南；(2)为加州大学旧金山分校四所学院的学生设计和实施多学科和可持续的中西医结合课程的组成部分；(3)评估已实施的中西医结合课程内容及其对学习者的影响；(4)在地方和全国范围内传播本课程工作的成果。作为一名医学教育工作者，我参与了直接教学、课程开发、咨询和指导、教育管理和教育研究。作为一名医学人类学研究者，我的兴趣反映在正在进行的中西医结合研究和服务不足的妇女的健康信念和行为。我承诺不仅要继续，而且要加强我作为医学教育者和研究者的角色，专注于改善和扩大加州大学旧金山分校和全国卫生专业学生、学员和从业者的中西医结合教育。拟议开发的创新、跨专业的中西医结合课程将最终提高加州大学旧金山分校中西医结合医学的学术能力和研究支持，并提高中西医结合医学领域在领先卫生专业学校的知名度。

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.
