Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)

Background:

  • Growing use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) necessitates understanding its integration into healthcare.
  • Educational initiatives are needed to bridge conventional medicine and CAM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the educational benefits of CAM familiarization courses for undergraduates.
  • To demonstrate how these courses foster understanding of CAM, attitudes toward medical change, and evidence-based practice.
  • To showcase the potential for improved patient care and interprofessional relationships.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing CAM familiarization courses in the US and UK.
  • Description of a developed multiprofessional model at the University of Southampton.

Main Results:

  • CAM familiarization courses provide valuable educational opportunities for medical undergraduates.
  • These courses can improve attitudes towards medical change and evidence-based medicine.
  • The multiprofessional model offers a framework for establishing similar courses.

Conclusions:

  • CAM familiarization courses are essential for modern medical education.
  • Implementing such courses can enhance interprofessional collaboration and patient care.
  • The University of Southampton's model serves as a valuable resource for institutions developing CAM education programs.
