In this insightful video from Functional Forum, Nalini Chilkov, OMD, leading integrative oncology expert and 
founder of the American Institute of Integrative Oncology Research and Education, discusses the importance of focusing on a patient’s overall health while treating cancer. As health specialists in integrative care, you can do more than you realize to help cancer patients address not only the side effects of treatment, but also in helping the body maintain a state of wellness during and after treatment.
As she explains, there is a vast shortage of oncologists. And even fewer integrative oncologists. This is where you come in. Before immediately referring a cancer patient to a specialist, Dr. Chilkov says that your expertise is ideal to help the patient stay healthy during treatment.
Whether the patient is beginning treatment, is currently in treatment or no longer has cancer and is dealing with the long-lasting side effects, as integrative physicians you have the health model and the skills to help patients and become a valuable resource for oncologists.
