Legal counsel for practitioners of integrative medicine and producers of nutritional supplements

By Michael H. Cohen, Esq.

 Practitioners of integrative medicine and producers of nutritional supplements need legal counsel to navigate the complex world of law and regulation.

Although laws pertaining to complementary and alternative medicine are part of health care law generally, some specific areas--such as licensing, malpractice and negligence, professional (medical board and other) discipline, and food and drug (FDA) law often come to the fore.

I recently met a friend who handles complementary and alternative medicine areas within a hospital but did not know about all the work that's out there to help those in academic medicine understand the legal and ethical foundations that support inclusion of CAM therapies within institutional settings.

On this blog there are books and other resources for those interested in legal issues relating to integrative medicine.

By the way, thanks to Will Bueche for designing this cool logo which we'll be putting on a vegetarian or vegan site to let people know about the unique resources and services we offer.

If you have legal questions concerning telemedicine and telehealth practices, HIPAA legal issues, health care reform questions, or other health law matters in New York, California, Massachusetts, Washington DC, and other states, contact a lawyer who knows the rules.

Consult an experienced health care law attorney who knows complementary medicine and integrative medicine for legal advice pertaining to any project involving allied health or CAM professionals.
