Complementary and alternative medicine: The importance of doctor- 
patient communication
Sam Pappas and Adam Perlman

All health care professionals should learn to talk to their patients  
about complementary and alternative medicine. Complementary and  
alternative medicine (CAM) encompasses a wide range of therapies and  
health care modalities that are widespread throughout the general  
population. Although most CAM users also partake in traditional  
medicine, many of these patients do not disclose this to their  
physicians. This article will discuss the importance of communicating  
about CAM with patients, explore who uses it, review the benefits of  
such therapy, discuss the barriers to effective doctor-patient  
communication, and explain how to begin the discussion with patients.
