In the ever evolving landscape of complex chronic disease and longevity, the role of prescription medication both in an on label and off label setting is growing in terms of its utility in patients. In this course we will discuss how to collaborate effectively with integrative minded medical doctors and nurse practitioners with patients receiving prescriptive medications in an integrative setting. Topics will include: what are the important factors related to off-label prescribing, how best to complete a detailed referral, how to communicate with providers around the status of patients and their prescription medications, and a variety of other topics to ensure you are both meeting the needs of the patient as well as any regulatory requirements. This is a prerequisite course before completing referrals through Onan for patients needing prescription medication.
Dr. Eric Marsden ND founded the Ontario Naturopathic Integrative Network to fill a key role for Naturopathic doctors across the province. Dr. Marsden ND obtained his undergraduate degree in Human Biology at the University of Toronto and graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2002. His journey to naturopathic medicine began after seeing the gaps that existed in conventional medical approaches to complex, chronic disease in family members and the prospect that integrative approaches to healthcare might offer to these challenging conditions.
