February 25-27, 2009 National Academy of Sciences’ Building 2100 C St. N.W., Washington, D.C. This meeting will seek to achieve the folowing:  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 will examine the ways integrative medicine seeks to address the personal and community environments that shape and empower patients’ knowledge, 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.
