Introduction to Complementary and Alternative Medicine Credit: 1

Catalog description

An elective course designed to introduce a variety of the most common complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modalities. Each modality will be defined and explained and any clinical evidence for or against will be discussed. An important emphasis will be on how patient use of these therapies may affect their needs for medication therapy management and counseling. For example, patients who see a naturopathic physician may be more likely to use herbal therapies that may interact with their prescription medications.
