These movements share many fundamental values—patient-centeredness, respecting the body-mind-spirit whole person continuum, and supportive and complementary roles, yet the fields have grown in parallel rather than intentionally examining their shared mission. In 2020, JACM: Paradigm, Practice and Policy Advancing Integrative Health (The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine) will publish a Special Focus Issue on Integrative Palliative Care. The goal will be to enhance the natural synergy between integrative health and palliative medicine by drawing research and commentary that examine integrative palliative care. (For more reflection on the convergence, please see Adler et al. “Integrative Palliative Care: Enhancing the Natural Synergy Between Integrative Health and Palliative Medicine” JACM, March 2019).Guiding the special issue are guest editors Shelley R. Adler, PhD and Delia Chiaramonte, MD. Adler is Director of the University of California, San Francisco Osher Center for Integrative Medicine. She is a researcher and medical educator focusing on palliative and end-of-life care, with an emphasis on integrative health equity. Chiaramonte is an integrative palliative care clinician at Gilchrist/Greater Baltimore Medical Center and was previously an integrative educational leader with the University of Maryland School of Medicine where she was the Associate Director and Director of Education for the University of Maryland School of Medicine Center for Integrative Medicine. She teaches in the Palliative Care Master's Program at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. Drs. Adler and Chiaramonte are supported by a Special Issue Advisory Team.We invite your submissions!
