Integrative health program application deadline is June 7
The UW’s Faculty Integrative Health Program is accepting applications for the upcoming school year. The year-long program allows 10 UW health sciences faculty members to study theoretical concepts, clinical practices, and evidence related to integrative therapies.
The program is a joint effort by the UW Schools of Medicine and Nursing in cooperation with Bastyr University. Participants will attend monthly daylong education sessions at the Bastyr campus, from September 2007 to June 2008. The courses will cover topics such as naturopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, botanicals, and energy techniques. The program’s application deadline has been extended; applications must now be received by June 7.
The program was developed with funding from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health, through grants to the School of Nursing and the School of Medicine. Continued support is being provided by the School of Nursing through an NIH grant.
