This presentation will review the ways in which the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the National Prevention Strategy (NPS) do and don't reflect the values of complementary and integrated healthcare (CIHC), and do and don't allow for a greater role for CIHC in clinical care and public health efforts.

Learning Areas:
Provision of health care to the public
Public health or related laws, regulations, standards, or guidelines

Learning Objectives:
Identify at least two elements of the Affordable Care Act which potentially expand the role of CIHC professionals. Identify at least 3 aspects of the ACA which reflect core values of CIHC. Explain the Four Strategic Directions of the National Prevention Strategy and their implications for CIHC professionals.
