Welcome! This online module provides a broad overview of complementary therapies and healing practices. It will take approximately 3 hours to complete. (You don't have to do it all at once.)

In this overview, you will find:

• Definitions of commonly-used terms
• A brief discussion of the historical and political background of this field
• A summary of the evidence base, licensing, cost effectiveness, and reimbursement of complementary therapies
• Practical suggestions on what you can do to address complementary therapies in your practice

This module does not include detailed information on specific therapies. That is covered (or will be) in other online modules.
