About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in integrative oncology and the lead instructor for the Certified Professional in Integrative Oncology course. Dr. Smith, can you tell us about your personal experiences that led you to this field? GUEST: Absolutely, I've always been interested in holistic healthcare approaches, and during my oncology fellowship, I saw how complementary therapies could significantly improve patients' quality of life during treatment. HOST: That's fascinating. And how does this course help healthcare professionals incorporate these therapies into their practice? GUEST: The CPIO course provides evidence-based knowledge in integrative oncology, complementary therapies, mind-body medicine, and nutrition. It teaches professionals how to effectively integrate these approaches with conventional treatments, ultimately improving patient outcomes. HOST: Can you share any current industry trends that are particularly relevant to this course? GUEST: Certainly, there's growing interest in personalized cancer care, including the use of genomic information to tailor treatments. Additionally, more patients are seeking holistic care, making this course increasingly valuable for healthcare professionals. HOST: What are some challenges faced in integrating these approaches into conventional cancer care? GUEST: Time constraints, lack of knowledge about complementary therapies, and concerns about potential interactions with conventional treatments can be barriers. The CPIO course addresses these challenges by providing practical guidance and resources. HOST: Where do you see the future of integrative oncology headed? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see increased acceptance and integration of complementary therapies into cancer care. As research advances, we'll have even more evidence-based options to offer patients, improving both their survival and quality of life.
