This two-part symposia will provide an in-depth training and knowledge translation regarding the role of integrative health in cancer rehabilitation. The symposia will define key terms, address common myths, and identify barriers to service delivery. Additionally, current research and clinical guidelines will be discussed. Strategies to improve access to and dialogue about integrative health across the continuum of cancer rehabilitation will be presented. Attendees will observe demonstrations of evidenced-based integrative health interventions (e.g. yoga, accupressure, meditation) and learn from experts how to properly incorporate these interventions into plans of care with mock patient-provider and provider-provider scripted discussions to help promote best practice. Resources will be provided.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the role integrative health services play in cancer rehabilitation across the continuum of care.
Summarize the evidence behind common, evidenced based integrative services and how these interventions can be administered
Name three common myths and obstacles in delivery of integrative health care.
Identify three strategies that can be used to improve education about/access to integrative services.
Promote effective dialogue with patients, providers and colleagues about integrative health modalities in oncology rehabilitation.
