About this course
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is a categorical term used to describe a range of medical and health care systems and/or therapeutic modalities, practices and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine – that is, medicine as traditionally practiced by physicians and allied health professionals (e.g., physical therapists, psychologists, nurses, counselors). The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recognized CAM use not only as an alternative medical strategy, but also as a supplemental or complementary health care strategy. This course informs practitioners of the underlying theories associated with CAM and reviews the empirical evidence associated with the prevalence of its use and its efficacy. Individual patient predictors of CAM use are discussed and guidelines are provided to assist clinicians and healthcare professionals to ethically identify which patients may benefit from CAM use.
