MED 180 Introduction to Integrative East-West Medicine

In the summer of 2008, we launched a new six-week introductory course on integrative East-West medicine to familiarize students with integrative healthcare and forms of complementary and alternative medicine, particularly Traditional Chinese Medicine. The goals of the course are to familiarize students with the U.S. healthcare system and the current healthcare crisis. The course covers different forms of complementary and alternative medicine, particularly Traditional Chinese Medicine. Students will learn about the concepts underlying different forms of medicine, the integrative model as practiced at the Center, and how to apply these concepts to their own well-being. The course also was offered in the summer of 2009.
