Program Description:

Integrative Medicine for the Otolaryngologist is a meeting for the head and neck clinician/surgeon to get up to date on topics of integrative medicine they may not be as familiar with. We will learn the importance of plant-based nutrition and healthy lifestyle practices to improve common otolaryngologic problems. In reviewing the current state of the literature on marijuana and its applications in OTOHNS we may be better aware of areas of need for further study and help our patients understanding what we really know about this now commonly used drug. Our speaker on mindfulness-based stress reduction and an evidence-based approach for patients, care takers, and medical professionals will review the literature and help demonstrate in real time small steps we might take to incorporate this into our own lives/practices. We will review the approach of acupuncture as it relates to the head and neck patient. These talks and the resident lectures will enhance our ability to connect to and inform our patients about topics they are increasingly interested in.
