The use of Integrative Veterinary Medicine (IVM) which also incorporates Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) continues to increase. There is a need for quality instruction of Integrative Health (IH) in medical and veterinary schools as accelerating numbers of veterinarians and physicians seek training in this area. In veterinary medicine, more in-depth assessment has identified trends emerging in US veterinary education programs fueled by growing IVM interest in veterinary students. Both the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Alternative and Complimentary Therapies Task Force (2001) document along with similar guidance documents in humans from National Institute of Health’s (NIH) strategic plan for the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, stress the importance of the development and dissemination of objective, evidence-based information on IVM interventions with professional education as a pillar. Since the early impetus to develop programs to educate students in this area, which included inviting a speaker to give an occasional lecture, a number of schools are expanding their programs into an integral part of their curriculum.
