Why the medical profession is talking about Advanced Certification... "An advanced credential will be a huge help to physicians wanting to collaborate with massage therapists capable of working in a medical setting." National Certification for Advanced Practice (NCAP) Dr. Lisa Corbin, internist and medical director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Colorado Hospital, believes an advanced credential will further the acceptance of massage by both integrative and conventional healthcare teams. " Physicians want the reassurance of working with massage therapists who have received additional training, who have achieved a higher level of expertise – especially when they're treating very sick patients. They'll look for massage therapists with this credential because it means they take their profession seriously, and can function in a medical environment."
