I think it would really help if as a committee we could formulate what would be our ideal model for an integrative system of medicine so students can picture what it would be like to go into integrative medicine, whether they are going to become an MD, DO, NP, RN, ND, physical therapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, etc. I think what students lack is a clear image of where they can go with each of these paths but still go the "IM" route. I don't even have a clear picture myself of what that would be, maybe it could be a good topic of discussion?
Some things to consider...
- structure of the health care model
- how professionals could potentially work together and learn from each other in the best interest of patients
- tenants that unite all IM practitioners (evidence based treatment, empathy/compassion, whole person approach, etc.)
