General Information
The Association of Complementary and Integrative Physicians of BC (ACIPBC) is a registered society that is open to medical doctors with specific expertise or a general interest in complementary health care or integrative medicine. The association was formed in October 1995 when a group of physicians with special interests in complementary therapies started having monthly meetings in Victoria and Vancouver, BC.
The activities of the ACIPBC reflect the main objectives, namely:
- To evaluate developments in complementary and integrative health care
- To provide support for complementary or integrative physicians, while promoting safe patient care, continuity of care, doctor-patient rapport, and appropriate referrals and consultations
- To promote communication, exchange of ideas, and cooperation between physicians both conventional and complementary
- To advocate professional development, continuing education and research in complementary health care
- To provide, where appropriate, expert advice and assistance to other health care organizations, information and education for the general public, health care professionals, medical students and physicians
- To establish, as necessary, liaison with other medical agencies and institutions
