Did you know that nearly 40% of adults in the U.S. use some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and that almost 12% of children and adolescents take natural medicine? Despite this widespread use, many physicians fail to inquire whether their patients are incorporating CAM into their healthcare regimen, or if they are using it as an alternative to conventional treatments. The same oversight is prevalent within the legal community, where lawyers often neglect to consider alternative therapies when planning for their clients' health and medical preferences. 

This gap in knowledge and awareness sparked the creation of Beyond the Traditional: The Rising Influence of Complimentary Alternative Medicine in Legal Planning. 

This groundbreaking course offers a unique, advanced planning framework that empowers individuals to preserve their healthcare wishes, protect their rights, and ensure that their preferences regarding both conventional and alternative therapies are respected. 

Tailored to equip lawyers to navigate the complex landscape of modern healthcare, this course delves into the intersection of law, medicine, and personal well-being. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the role CAM plays in patient care and learn practical strategies for incorporating CAM considerations into advanced directives, living wills, and other legal documents. 

This provides essential tools to help you advocate for your clients' or loved ones’ holistic health choices, empowering them to take control of their care while ensuring their rights and wishes are safeguarded. Whether you're a general practice attorney seeking to enhance your practice or an estate planning practitioner wanting to sharpen our skill set, this course equips you with the knowledge to navigate and and counsel your client’s confidence and clarity. 

Join us in exploring the evolving world of healthcare and legal planning to protect what matters most—your client’s health and well-being.
