Integrative Health: Moving from Marginal to Mainstream

Several factors have set the stage to move integrative health from the margins into the mainstream of care. But significant barriers remain for these practices, including insufficient doctor and patient knowledge about safe and effective treatments, educational challenges, and the lack of insurance coverage.

In this Events @ RAND podcast, some of the nation's leading integrative health experts discuss the path forward for incorporating evidence-based complementary and alternative treatments into standard patient care, medical training, and policymaking.
