Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine student Marnie LaPlante presented her research and led an interactive workshop on ‘Integration and patient centered medicine – its meaning and implications for a collaborative medicine’ at the National Health Sciences Students’ Association (NaHSSA) Conference recently. The theme of this year’s conference was Crossing the Bridges of Socioeconomic and Cultural Diversity in Healthcare and is an ongoing interprofessional collaborative initiative involving students, faculty and practitioners from University of Toronto and University of Ottawa medical schools, The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, and CCNM. Additional research from CCNM was on display from the work done investigating naturopathic medicine and Aboriginal health care delivery including qualitative research done on the satellite clinic at Anishnawbe Health Toronto.
