Although there is a growing interest and use of integrative health approaches by the U.S. population, there is limited evidence about its use in rehabilitation medicine. For this reason, the CIRM NG conducted an online survey to learn how rehabilitation professionals perceive, use, and practice integrative health approaches to rehabilitation medicine. The objective of the survey was to gather preliminary data to inform future research on how to better develop evidence-based protocols and guidelines. This symposium will present the results and examine the clinical and research implications.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the perceptions of rehabilitation professionals about utilization of Integrative health approaches
Identify limitations to incorporating integrative health practices in rehabilitation
Critique the value of Integrative health education and training for healthcare providers and patient
Discuss potential barriers to generating empirical research evaluating the efficacy of Integrative health approaches
