Issues in Hospital-based Practice
webinar series and online resource
What is the Issues in Hospital-based Practice Webinar Series and Online Resource?
These are zoom-based interviews and webinar sessions with hospital and healthcare system-based acupuncturist colleagues. Each session covers an identified issue in the healthcare system setting, focusing on the acupuncturist community. However, as you can see in our current issues list, these issues are common for most providers in the healthcare system-based integrative health community.
