International Policy Roundtable
Thursday, November 9th, 2023
11:00 am Pacific Time/2:00 pm Eastern Time
Across the world, traditional, complementary, and integrative health (TCIH) is either the mainstay of health care delivery or serves as a complement to it. This webinar will explore the role of policy in shaping TCIH practice and service integration models by contrasting development in two world regions, and identify policy issues of national and international relevance that may inform the evolution of the TCIH field.
Join speakers Miek Jong, PhD, Nadine Ijaz, PhD, Daniel F. Gallego-Perez, MD, DrPH, and Jon Wardle, ND, MPH, LLM, PhD, as they discuss TCIH practices in a variety of landscapes, including a US-based overview, a description of European Union legal and regulatory status of TCIH, a Latin American landscape of TCIH policy mechanisms and approaches, and a reflection on global trends in relation to these policy issues.
Webinar participants will gain a general understanding of the TCIH policy landscape within these contexts, through a perspective that identifies equity issues, challenges, and opportunities. Special attention will be placed on identifying models exploring TCIH integration synergies within health care systems.
