This shift is largely driven by research and recommendations from transdisciplinary academic consortia, such as the Academic Consortium for Complementary and Alternative Health Care (ACCAHC). A recent article titled "Consensus Recommendations to NCCIH from Research Faculty in a Transdisciplinary Academic Consortium for Complementary and Integrative Health and Medicine" provides valuable insights for practitioners aiming to enhance their skills and contribute to the field's growth.

Conclusion

By implementing the recommendations from the ACCAHC and engaging in further research, practitioners can enhance their skills and contribute to the growth of integrative health. These efforts will not only improve patient outcomes but also strengthen the position of CIH within the broader healthcare system.
