Complementary and<br />

Alternative Medicine<br />

In the United States, the aging population,<br />

an increasing public awareness of major<br />

risk factors contributing to chronic<br />

illness and the public’s growing desire for<br />

alternative health care options are just a<br />

few of the factors behind the expanding<br />

interest in complementary and alternative<br />

medicine (CAM). Rapidly gaining in<br />

popularity, CAM is used by more than<br />

40 percent of the U.S. population. The<br />

demand for knowledgeable providers<br />

to meet the needs of this population<br />

is dramatically increasing, resulting<br />

in the development of new jobs and the<br />

creation of new services. To gain a broad<br />

understanding of these therapies and to<br />

stay current with emerging trends, health<br />

professionals who work with diverse<br />

populations will need continuing<br />

professional education. The ability to<br />

understand the many types of therapies<br />

available is essential to providing safe,<br />

effective care in any setting.<br />
