Three Schools to Test Alternative Medicine Curriculum
RESTON, Va.
The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) recently selected three medical schools to test a new curriculum designed to integrate complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approaches into mainstream medical school curricula.
The University of Connecticut School of Medicine, University of Massachusetts School of Medicine and the University of California at Irvine School of Medicine were selected by an expert reviewers’ panel on the basis of curriculum design, expertise of teaching faculty and research in CAM, feasibility and creative elements of the approach, as well as commitment by the dean’s office and student leadership to support implementation of the CAM curriculum.
