Workshop/Arbeitstreffen

Integrative health services and CAM play an increasing role in health markets (Roland Berger Strategy Consultants 2010). In Europe some 250 Million European Citizens demand for CAM and at least 330.000 CAM practitioners (150.000 medical doctors) with CAM-certifications provide CAM (see CAMBRELLA: http://www.cambrella.eu).

What is the role of Medical Doctors of the Future?

Patients want their doctors to know CAM methods and to be able to provide serious information and advice – and probably also to provide CAM treatment.

In the introduction we present:

  • Consumers’ needs and attitudes regarding CAM: core findings of the FP 7 project CAMbrella (2010-2013) and a representative poll in Austria on CM (Karmasin 2011)
  • CAM definition, CAM methods, characteristics of CAM interventions
  • CAM research: results of the first Austrian survey on CAM research and prominent research examples to build the scientific basis for European CAM
  • CAM education: Examples of CAM-integration in the medical education.

In the workshop we will discuss the integration of CAM in medical education:

  • What issues of CAM should be integrated?
  • How should CAM beintegrated?
