Hoag FCN Monthly Meeting: Acupuncture & Eastern Medicine in Clinical Practice: Evidence, Mechanisms & Patient Benefits with Dr. Nam Lee

This session explores how acupuncture and Eastern medicine modalities can be integrated into clinical care, focusing on biological mechanisms (neural, endocrine, immune), patient outcomes, and evidence. Attendees will see how these modalities can influence hormone balance, inflammation, pain, and functional recovery, and learn applicable techniques and case examples.

1. Explain physiological pathways through which acupuncture and Eastern modalities influence hormone regulation, inflammation, and tissue repair, citing clinical evidence.
2. Integrate acupuncture point protocols or Eastern strategies into care plans for conditions such as hormonal imbalance, chronic pain, or inflammation, including safety and contraindications.
3. Demonstrate one practical acupressure/acupuncture technique that nurses can use or teach patients.
4. Critically appraise the limitations and evidence gaps of these modalities and know when to refer or combine with conventional care.
