Course Content
Course 1
What is Integrative Veterinary Medicine?
Monday July 14, 2008, 5 - 7 PM Pacific Time
This course is the first in a series that will explore this rapidly
emerging medical approach to health and healing for your pet. Integrative
Veterinary Medicine is a comprehensive medical approach to pet care which
combines the best of conventional medicine and complementary and alternative
therapies. This type of veterinary practice focuses on treating the whole
animal, partnership between the client and the veterinarian, and it uses all
appropriate therapeutic options to achieve optimal wellness for your pet.
The emphasis is on using all reasonable therapies or systems of medicine
together that provides an increased capacity to prevent and treat disease
that would not be possible using one system of medicine alone. This
integrative approach to veterinary medicine is designed to minimize adverse
effects, maximize successful treatment outcomes and improve the quality of
life.
