Intergrative
Medicine Integrative Medicine does not have a commonly accepted definition at this time. Integrative medicine
can
also be considered synonymous with complementary
medicine. In fact, the term has been used interchangeably with
alternative and complementary
medicine. However, the term integrative medicine might refer
to a single medical practitioner who is
trained in allopathic medicine and at least one form of alternative medicine.
An example would be an MD or DO trained in Ayurvedic Medicine. The patient
would receive intergrated treatment. The term would also be appropriate for a clinic in which a patient is treated by both allopathic and alternative
medical practitioners.
