MBM 5690 - Complementary and Integrative Medicine


The Complementary and Integrative Medicine course extends and deepens the student's understanding of integrative medicine and health. The course reviews the professions that comprise complementary and integrative medicine and health, the treatments they provide, and their fields of practice. Several of these professions developed originally as autonomous approaches to health and healing, yet now lend themselves to a collaborative and integrative treatment approach. The 21st century patient may benefit from the most advanced mainstream medical care, supplemented by treatments adapted from any of the complementary professions. Among these professions are: naturopathy, homeopathy, chiropractic medicine, energy medicine and energy psychology, Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, Ayurveda and massage therapy and bodywork. 3.0 credit(s)
