CAM therapies is increasing, and integrative medicine centers and
clinics are being established, many with close ties to medical schools
and teaching hospitals. How does a new therapy move from the idea stage

conventional medicine? Why is such integration occurring? What
approaches are being used to offer integrated services? This chapter
