Description: Using music, discussion, poetry, and experiential learning, this two-day workshop on integrative medicine will offer participants the opportunity to consider "good health" not as a one-dimensional outcome of the right medications or treatments, but rather an ongoing appreciation of the many ways to wellness. Experienced clinicians will share evidence-based information on complementary approaches to common conditions and health maintenance and will provide participants with practical information to share with their patients and clients. This workshop offers health professionals the chance to enjoy the natural beauty of autumn in Eastern Kentucky and to meet and network with others with common interests, as well as to learn about innovative ways to improve the health of individuals and communities they serve.
