“…Most clinicians originally sought professional training to be more effective in providing care or promoting prevention, not to generate profits for large institutions. An increasing number of physicians are seeking training in integrative medicine, and academic health centers are responding by offering additional educational opportunities through traditional or on-line courses (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24).…”

The future of integrative medicine is built on a long history, and will occur within the context of larger changes in the environment, society, and the cultures in which we practice. We are co-creating it together on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, side by side with others committed to a sustainable future on our shared planet. With mindfulness of the enormous forces under girding our efforts, we move forward together, with international respect, collaboration and gratitude. Holistic and integrative medicine represents the highest ideals of medicine; historical, environmental and social forces are propelling spectacular movement toward realizing our shared future. This paper presents historical trends and barriers to change.

Today, more than ever before, millions of people are seeking an approach to medicine and health care that is more comprehensive, more holistic and integrative, and more compassionate and sensitive to their needs as a whole person. This is particularly true for those dealing with cancer. Changing patient demographics, heightened consumer demand for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) products and services, advances in medical science and technology, expanding access to the Internet and health information, and other factors have contributed to a wave of transformation that is unprecedented in its impact on the entire health care system. These trends have fueled the emerging fields of integrative medicine and oncology, which are growing rapidly. As these fields continue to evolve, they will move beyond the present integrative model to a broader vision of whole-person, multidimensional care that will more fully and coherently address and embrace all dimensions of the human experience. This article describes 6 major driving forces behind the wave of transformation presently under way in medicine and health care. It provides a brief, historical overview of integrative medicine and oncology and summarizes the present status of these emerging fields. It discusses the future of integrative medicine and oncology, including a multidimensional approach to care, and highlights 5 key elements that underlie this approach. Finally, it describes The Seven Levels of Healing-a model of multidimensional care-and concludes with a discussion of 3 important challenges and opportunities for medicine and health care that lie on the horizon.
