Medical Students’ Attitudes, Experiences and Future Perspectives on Complementary Medicine - an Exploratory Study

Abstract

To conclude, universities should react to the medical students‘ needs by extending their CM curriculum allowing for positive, personal experiences. Nutrition therapy, manual medicine and relaxation techniques should be included in medical education since most students imagined to use these CM therapies as physicians. Critical appraisal of and training in homeopathy and manual medicine might positively influence students‘ attitudes towards CM.
