-
Review
the state of the science
-
Assess
the potential and the priorities
-
Begin
to identify elements of an agenda to improve understanding,
training, practice, and other
actions that might help improve the prospects for integrative
medicine’s contributions to better health and health care.
Prevention,
research, education, and clinical care will also be addressed.
Experts will be invited to discuss integrative medicine, but
not specific, alternative modalities of care to facilitate behavioral
change to maintain wellness and avoid illness and disease. It
will be important to include patient perspectives. The meeting

skills, and support to be active participants in their own care.
The content
should inform the participants and identify priorities for moving
forward, including exploration of both barriers and models of
care
and clinical programs that work.
