“…Although the care models of IM and biomedicine differ, they are both focused on patient well-being-and for this reason many clinicians of both orientations are willing to cooperate in the best interests of the patient (Chung, Ma, Hong, & Griffiths, 2012;Hollenberg & Bourgeault, 2011;Narahari & Kanjarpane, 2013;. This collaboration of health care models holds great potential for patients; however, tensions exist within many health care systems that threaten the efficacy or even the possibility of such partnerships.…”

“…A second constraint arises in the differences in desires to share ideas across varied practitioner paradigms (Hollenberg & Bourgeault, 2011). Since biomedical and IM health care systems can be vastly different and IM is still relatively growing, there has been significantly less time for constructing collaborative environments and the accompanying communication competencies for successful collaboration among biomedical and IM clinicians.…”

A shift has occurred in the provision of health care to include a focus not just on biology and disease but also on the whole person, preventative care, and an array of healing modalities based on systems of beliefs and values not typically included within biomedical practice. This approach to health care, termed integrative medicine (IM), blends biomedicine with a broader understanding of patients and their illnesses, including elements of mind, body, and spirit that may be contributing to an ailment. While the use of integrative medicine has increased and centers for integrative medicine have proliferated within conventional health care organizations, distinct tensions arise from this amalgamation. The tensions between IM and biomedical clinicians often center on their differing training and philosophies, as well as on a larger system of health care that privileges biomedicine. As a result, this research is designed to explore the challenges IM clinicians face in collaborating with conventional practitioners to provide patient care. Analysis of interviews with 14 clinicians at one center for integrative medicine revealed four specific challenges they face in their attempt to co-practice IM with conventional medicine. The four challenges include (a) challenges to collaboration, (b) challenges to legitimacy, (c) challenges to consistency, and (d) challenges to unification. Future research should investigate the ways in which these challenges can be addressed so that collaboration throughout the system is facilitated. The professional training of clinicians, the structuring and institutionalization of integrative medicine, and enhanced systems for communicating patient information all play a significant role in this transformation.

“…1,2 IPE and CIM both seek to bring together diverse health professionals while maintaining their unique attributes and contributions. The two fields share conceptual aspects of interdisciplinary care and collaborative practice, including an emphasis on enabling practitioners to communicate more effectively, encouraging shared problem solving and decision-making, and training practitioners to integrate different knowledge structures into a single action plan.…”

“…The study of IPE and the conduct of interdisciplinary practice cannot remain distinct and separated. 4 Although Montgomery 23 professes that professionals need to be educated together to practice together, we believe that students need to practice together to be educated together. As health care evolves, this remains a career-long obligation.…”

care always has been to improve health-first of individuals-and then of populations as science evolved and a more global view of human health emerged. 1 Advances in science and shifts in the structure of health care brought new expectations that shaped how the realities of practice must fit the changing demographics of health, illness, and disability. Currently emerging changes in health care policy and regulation have required physical therapists (PTs) to respond to many new expectations. 2 These changes are catalysts to lead the evolution of practice and capture opportunities to promote the health of our patients via new delivery models. This position paper proposes changes in professional education to allow PTs to respond to the complexities of health and health care, and be full partners in what must become an integrated and interdisciplinary service industry. POsITIOn AnD RATIOnALeWe address 3 focal areas to drive change in physical therapist didactic and clinical education. First, achieving true interdisciplinary practice demands that physical therapist educators create learning experiences that result in interprofessional competence. This expectation must apply initially and across the entire continuum of professional development. Second, while responding to new accountabilities of the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) may be stressful for practitioners, there is opportunity to create new approaches to address current stresses in clinical education. We advocate expanding the breadth of clinical education to include experiences in accountable care organizations (ACOs) or patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) as a strategy for building practice options for care across the lifespan of patients. Finally, providing focused and in-depth education in the care of patients with highly prevalent conditions may prepare graduates to implement new care models and pathways that The authors declare no conflicts of interest.Received October 1, 2013, and accepted February 7, 2014. the health of our patients via new delivery models-and thus lead the evolution of our profession. Position and Rationale. To lead, physical therapists must (1) demonstrate interprofessional competence in what is certain to be an interdisciplinary industry, (2) assume new roles and accountabilities within new structures of the health care system, and (3) devise models of care, particularly for patients with highly prevalent and chronic conditions, that address movement and function across the full continuum of health and life. In turn, professional education must require (1) early and persistent exposure to, and clinical mentorship by, practitioners in other disciplines; (2) accountability for expected treatment outcomes embedded in the Affordable Care Act; and (3) skill development in community health assessments, health promotion, and prevention of disability and disease across the lifespan. Discussion and Conclusion. The mission of health care is to improve the health of individuals and of populations. As science progresses and a more glo...
