Complementary medicine: the Southampton undergraduate experience

Author(s): Owen, D.

Abstract: We describe our experiences in the development of a complementary and alternative medicine familiarization special study module for a multidisciplinary group of students, involving medical students, nurses and chiropractors. Our observations suggest that the model we have developed is an effective, interesting and exciting experience for both students and teachers.We have defined, by consensus between students and teachers, a series of clear educational objectives.The course is now established, having run for 4 academic years, but we are concerned about its sustainability, particularly in relation to ongoing funding.
