1. Given that more than half of patients using CAM never discuss it with their physicians, how can internists find out what their patients are doing or using and discuss it with them?
2. What are some resources available to internists, and their patients, to help evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CAM treatments that patients may be using or may be considering using?
3. How are CAM treatments regulated (or not), and how does this affect the physician-patient interaction regarding the use of these therapies?
