Question

Do you believe that nursing and medical education needs more formal instruction of alternative therapies in current educational curriculums? Why or why not? Should there be continuing education requirements related to alternative therapies? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes i strongly believe that nursing and medical education needs more formal instruction of alternative therapies in current educational curriculums as it uplifts the quality level of the nursing and medical education by supplementing the dietary and other related exercise techniques, which enables the health care professional for the effective management of the disease in a community. Also enables to educate the patient regarding the better handling of the disease situations and their prevention and the cure.

It also provides the information regarding the drug interactions and other safety issues.

The alternative medicines including meditation, prayer, mental healing, art, music, and dance therapy, the patients recover more quickly.

Dietary supplement as the biological therapy supplements the better handling of the disease.

Moreover in my opinion these is requirement of the such alternative therapy education as the studies reveal that the nursing staff, pharmacists and physicians currently lack the knowledge, confidence, and training to convey the proper guidance to the patients won alternative therapies.
