Attending the AIMH conference brings up many challenges to providing safe, evidence based care and treatment to Americans.  1) Medical providers are limited in understanding integrative whole-person care due to their lack of training during academia and experience after.  Outside their network they do not know how to effectively connect with and refer to: naturopathic doctors (ND), acupuncturist (LAc), health coaches, counselors, nutritionist (RD), stress management counselors and programs (yoga, guided meditation, fitness), etc.  Inside their network challenges include working inter-professionally and having specialists on their team who collaborate in support of their patient: endocrinology, orthopedics, oncology, cardiology, dentistry, etc.  Do you believe this is an issue and if so, what are the solutions?
