Alternative and Conventional Medicine are moving towards collaboration and the top 50 Medical Schools in the country are in on it!

Have you ever heard of the Academic Consortium for Complementary and Alternative Health Care (ACCAHC)? This organization is composed of accreditation agencies, national certifying groups, and school councils from the five licensed complementary health professions. Those five professions are: chiropractic, acupuncture and oriental medicine, naturopathy, direct midwifery and…wait for it…massage.

ACCAHC envisions a health care system focused on wellness that features collaboration between conventional and complementary practitioners. Did you know that the Affordable Care Act of 2010 mandates both that the health care system should be organized around a principle of wellness and also that those conventional and complementary practitioners should collaborate? ACCAHC’s vision is fulfilled by this new law.

Have you also ever heard of the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine (CAHCIM)? This is a group of 50 of the leading medical schools in the United States and Canada. These medical training centers have changed their focus from treating illness to creating wellness. CAHCIM is working with ACCAHC (To pronounce these acronyms, it helps if you think of a cat coughing up a fur ball) on several fronts. One of the main projects is an effort to define the knowledge, skills and attitudes all practitioners must have to work in a collaborative setting and then to develop a course to teach those competencies. A second project involves these two organizations co-sponsoring a conference for educators in the field of integrative medicine and health care, scheduled for October 24-26, 2012 at Georgetown University School of Medicine.

For those of you who have dreamed of the day that all health practitioners were learning to practice as a team focused optimal health and not just illness, that day has come. It is happening as you read this. It is coming faster than you know. I have been dreaming about this myself for about 40 years. Would somebody pinch me so I know I am awake?

INTRODUCING ASHA's NEW CERTIFIED ASIAN BODYWORK THERAPIST PROGRAM

Mark May 21, 2012 on your calendars. This will be the first day of our new Asian Bodywork Therapy (ABT) program! There is a growing interest in the United States in Chinese Medicine, Asian Bodywork, holistic health, and energy based healthcare. As the focus on wellness grows, the role of Asian bodywork will only continue to grow. This new program, currently the only one of its kind in Atlanta, will prepare you to work in the field of preventative care, illness care and wellness care. It will emphasize Asian Bodywork, but graduates will have met the basic requirement for licensure as Massage Therapists in Georgia. Like Therapeutic Massage, Asian Bodywork Therapy is so gentle and effective that it can be useful to clients at any age and state of health. Just as Massage Therapists are muscle experts, Asian Bodywork Therapists are energy experts. Both can help their clients by relieving pain and creating balance. The program will be a comprehensive blend of Eastern and Western techniques including Acupressure, Tuina, Medical Qigong, and TaiChi, as well as Western modalities; Swedish Massage and Touch for Health. The main categories in the curriculum are:

Oriental Medicine- covers basic diagnosis of energetic imbalances

Asian Bodywork Therapy- Acupressure, Tuina, Qigong, and Taichi. Western Sciences- anatomy, physiology, and pathology

Western Bodywork- Swedish Massage, Touch for Health

Personal and Professional Development- personal growth, self-care, ethics, and business

Clinical Practice- students practice on the public. 

The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for advanced standing in Acupuncture school programs, if they have the requisite college training. Combining both western and eastern systems gives you the best of both worlds. There will be a Night Program starting May 21st for massage therapists, who will only need to take 626 hours instead of 927. There will be a 927 hour ABT program starting that same day for everyone else (not MTs already).

If you interested in Asian Bodywork or in becoming a Massage Therapist, then be sure to attend our OPEN HOUSE at ASHA Thursday May 10th at 6:30.
