Where this comes from

Abstract

As the use of CAM grows, CAM familiarisation offers educational opportunities for undergraduates to understand CAM, their attitudes to medical change and the process of evidence-based medicine. Such courses also offer the opportunity to integrate patient care and improve the relationship between medical and CAM practitioners. CAM familiarisation courses are available in many medical schools in the United States and the United Kingdom. The multiprofessional model which we have developed at the University of Southampton (UK) offers valuable experience to those thinking of establishing such courses.
