This search for improved health has led us and, more recently, our medical establishment, to begin to examine the healing modalities of numerous world cultures and integrate them with our own medical practices. Discussions with the instructor and professionals in CAM practices explore the history, mechanisms of action, and current state of scientific research for each therapy. In addition, you can focus your studies on an area of particular personal interest. With the instructor, you build a file of reference material and Web sites for further self-guided studies. When possible, lectures are accompanied by demonstrations of the therapies.
