Alternative Medicine Education
In the United States, increasing numbers of medical colleges
have started offering courses in alternative and complementary
medicine. A 1998 study reported "There is tremendous
heterogeneity and diversity in content, format, and requirements
among courses in complementary and alternative medicine at US
medical schools". Common topics included chiropractic,
acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal therapies, and mind-body
techniques. In three separate research surveys that surveyed 729
schools (125 medical schools offering an MD degree, 25 medical
schools offering a Doctor of
Osteopathic medicine degree, and 585 schools offering a
nursing degree), 60% of the standard medical schools, 95% of
osteopathic medical schools and 84.8% of the nursing schools
teach some form of CAM.
The University of Arizona College of Medicine offers a program
in Integrative Medicine under the leadership of
Andrew Weil that
trains physicians in various branches of alternative medicine
that "...neither rejects conventional medicine nor embraces
alternative practices uncritically."Accredited
Naturopathic colleges and universities are also increasing in
number and popularity in Canada and the USA.
