Ethics & Alternative Medicine
Tuesday, February 8th, 2005 7:15- 8:30am
featuring Elaine Stevens
author, teacher & clinical herbalist
| "... patients find health care alternatives to be more congruent with their own values, beliefs and philosophical orientations toward health and life..." — Journal of the American Medical Association |
|
Alternative Medicine is a broad term covering a wide range
of therapies and modalities. Some have been used for centuries and their traditions, benefits and uses are well known. Others are less well known, even somewhat dubious.
— How do practitioners address the ethical issues they
are being faced with in alternative healthcare?
— What are the issues you face as a potential client?
— How will you know what therapy is right for you?
— What do you need to know to make informed
choices about practitioners?
These issues can present a potential mine field for those who seek help from Alternative Healthcare Providers.
Please join us for breakfast as Elaine talks about
how to navigate these issues in today's alternative healthcare marketplace.
Seating is limited. |
