| DESCRIPTION : Alternative Medicine has been defined by the NIH's Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM) as a "broad domain in healing resources that encompasses all health systems, modalities, and practices and their accompanying theories and beliefs, other than those intrinsic to the politically dominant health systems of a particular society or culture in a given historical period." This Area of Concentration is intended to familiarize students with the most widely practiced Alternative Medicine modalities in an effort to prepare for clinical practice in which more and more patients will be utilizing alternative modalities in conjunction with conventional medical care. The electives offered in this AoC will make every attempt to bring an evidence-based as well as an experiential approach to the Study of Alternative Medicine. |
