On May 11, 2024
A. The development of integrative medicine would have many advantages.
1. The recognition of psychological factors in the development and treatment of disease would bring about a change to the more valid biopsychosocial model of health.
2. Integrative medicine would improve outcomes by adding the effective alternative treatments to conventional treatments.
3. Integrative medicine would improve patients' experience in health care settings by acknowledging the psychological and emotional components that affect disease and treatment.
4. Alternative treatments would be more accessible if integrated with conventional medicine.
B. Several barriers exist that make the development of integrative medicine difficult.
1. Practitioners of conventional and alternative medicine differ in philosophy and training, making it difficult for them to respect each other and to work together.
2. Integrative medicine is furnished by teams, which may add to the cost of medical care, and cost is already a serious problem in health care.
