Abstract Details

2007, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Educational Policy and Leadership.
With the continued trend towards a more integrative medicine, Complementary and Alternative medicine practitioners have started working alongside their biomedical counterparts in integrative facilities. This study explores the experiences of CAM practitioners working in an integrative facility and the strategies used to facilitate this process. An in-depth case study was conducted with various practitioners working in this field and interviews were the main vehicle for this investigation. The analysis reveals that CAM practitioners’ experiences are largely influenced by tensions with leadership and a changing organizational structure. Processes and barriers inhibiting integration are also discussed.
