The world's largest faculty of medicine”
Why study at TECH?
This Advanced master’s degree is an incredible opportunity to attain, in just one course, each and every one of the skills required to perform an intervention in Integrative Medicine of the highest quality"
The field of Integrative Medicine is an emerging field of health sciences. In many developed countries there is a large percentage of the population that uses CAM at least once in their lifetime: 48% in Australia, 70% in Canada, 42% in the USA, 38% in Belgium, and 75% in France.
In countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Holland, and Nordic countries, natural and complementary medicine is being incorporated into traditional health structures, following the conceptual line of this Advanced master’s degree. For example, 90% of pain management services in the United Kingdom and 70% in Germany include acupuncture among the treatments they provide. The European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products works on the quality, safety, and efficacy of herbal medicinal products and established a Working Group on herbal medicinal products in 1997.
The process of integration of both Medicines has led different organizations to invest human and economic capital to investigate the impact it could have on health and Social Security in many countries. In 1998, the European Union completed a COST (European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) project on non-conventional medicine.
Several governments participated with the aim of demonstrating the possibilities, limitations, and significance of alternative medicine, establishing a common scientific framework, harmonizing legislation, and helping to control healthcare costs. The CAMbrella project, a pan-European research network on natural therapies, was launched in January 2010 and has been funded with more than 1.5 million euros through the EU's Seventh Framework Program. The working groups that make up CAMrella focus on terminology, legal framework, patient needs, the role of natural therapy treatments in healthcare systems and research methodology.
It is worth highlighting the World Health Organization's indications in this regard and the explicit desire to incorporate Traditional Medicine at the global level (Strategy 2014-2023, WHO). Rapid advances and the need for constant updating in all these aspects require the professional to make an intense effort to remain at the forefront. An effort that may be too great to be taken on by working professionals. This Grand Master's Degree is a specialist training program, with a greater scientific, technical, teaching, and practical scope that provides you with all the necessary knowledge to be a leading physician in this area of intervention. Everything you need to know, in one place and with all the facilities for learning.
