Healthcare Professional Development

The Center for Integrative Medicine recognizes the importance of training and supporting health professionals in various stages of their careers in order to develop a cadre of well-trained complementary and integrative medicine practitioners and investigators. 

Healing Pathways:  Integrative Training for Health Care Professionals 

The Center for Integrative Medicine believes strongly that the combination of advanced technology and ancient wisdom is the greatest path to healing.  Drawing from our clinical and research collaborations at the Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland, we have developed an education program to teach nurses and other health professionals integrative skills such as guided imagery, mind-body techniques, acupressure, reiki, and sound healing.  In addition to didactic and experiential learning, the course includes several mentored sessions with course faculty at the bedside, so that practitioners can immediately translate what they have learned to their care of patients.
