Course Description

WHO is a global leader in advancing the integration of Traditional, Complementary, and integrative Health into National Health Systems across the world. The recent opening of the WHO Global Center for Traditional Medicine in India and its hosting of the first WHO Traditional Medicine Global Summit, taking place in August, alongside the G20 tales, have placed the important role of Traditional, Complementary, and integrative Hesith visibly in the global health agenda. In the United States, a recent report was issued by the National Academy of Rediane, calling for the VAs Whole Health model, which embeds various integrative health modalities within its patient-centered health model, to be both scaled within the VA's system and spread widely across the nation. These events are both silent and synergistic. We will discuss what they mean for the global ICIH landscape, how they may inform one another, and how they may contribute to changes to healthcare within the United States.
