Complementary medicine/CMT101/Aims

Welcome

We have a great team organised to help you understand the issues related to the topic of Complementary medicine. We hope you enjoy learning with us.

Learning outcome

In this unit we will be discussing the role of complementary medicine in healthcare. Specifically we will look at questions which include:

• What are complementary medicines? Where do they come from? How have they developed and changed, and how has their use developed and changed in Australia over the last 30 years?

• What is the evidence do Australians use to guide their decisions about complementary medicines?

• What is the role of ethics and the law in this area?.

If you are interested in learning more about where these concepts and skills could take you, consider looking through the Diploma of Sustainable Living or our course and unit handbook to look for other learning opportunities.
