Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is growing in the United States. Children are a part of this trend, with adolescent self-care exceeding adult use. As a result, the necessity of educating pediatricians on CAM practices has become clear. This paper describes the Pediatric Integrative Medicine Education (PIME) project with a focus on the creation of HolisticKids.org, a Website designed to educate pediatric residents. HolisticKids.org also addresses the needs and interests of medical students, fellows, faculty, and community-based care providers who work with children and CAM. An outstanding aspect of this effort is its interdisciplinary nature, involving physicians, pharmacists, dieticians, nurses, medical librarians, and Web specialists. Collaboration is mirrored on an institutional level, where the participating institutions include Children's Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School, Boston Medical Center, the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Now in the third year of development, this Web-based education project demonstrates how integrative medical education can contribute to pediatric care for diverse families and complement cultural competency efforts. Ongoing efforts focus on adding content, developing evaluation techniques, and disseminating this resource to the health sciences community.

BACKGROUND: An interactive Web site was developed to supplement ambulatory care clinical rotations, optimize collaborative efforts of ambulatory care preceptors, and standardize the educational and evaluation experience.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate perceptions of residents and students using an interactive Web site for ambulatory care clinical pharmacy rotations.METHODS: An online anonymous survey comprised of 12 questions using a 5-point Likert scale (1-5, strongly disagree-strongly agree) and 4 open-ended questions was designed. Over a 3-year time frame, each student and resident rotating through the ambulatory care clinical rotation was instructed to complete the survey at the end of the rotation experience. Survey results were compiled and analyzed.RESULTS: Sixty-nine percent (18/26) of residents and 71% (54/76) of students completed the survey. Overall, the Web site was well accepted by all learners. Residents and students differed in opinion on a few aspects of the Web site; however, both appreciated the ease of accessibility and links to additional resources. Inoperable links and outdated quizzes were identified as major weaknesses.CONCLUSIONS: Perceptions of an interactive Web site used during ambulatory care clinical rotations were positive. The survey results reinforce the continued use of this teaching method and will enable preceptors to make appropriate adjustments for future learners.
