PHA03150 - Complementary Medicine Therapeutics IInformation for students studying in 2013

Please contact the School of Health & Human Sciences to confirm details prior to acting on this information.

Unit Description

This unit provides a hands-on approach to making clinical decisions about using herbal and other complementary medicines. The actual complementary medicines discussed in this unit will focus on products that are readily available in Australia. The unit will take an evidence-based approach to the use of complementary medicines. In some of the therapeutic areas covered, there is not always a sufficient body of evidence to justify a particular approach to treatment. In these situations, the aim of the unit will be to effectively combine existing evidence with sound clinical judgement in order to facilitate clinical decision making. In all clinical areas, assessment will focus not merely on provision of correct information, but on the process of extrapolating existing information into appropriate clinical recommendations.
