对美国医学院课程中的补充和替代医学（CAM）进行了分析。我们对 130 所美国医学院的网站的课程列表和内容进行了系统分析。一半的学校 (50.8%) 提供至少一门 CAM 课程或见习机会。总共确定了 127 门不同的课程列表，涵盖一系列主题和教学方法。最常列出的主题是传统医学、针灸、灵性和草药，以及 CAM 的一般主题。近 25.0% 的课程提到通过 CAM 实践实现个人成长或自我保健，而只有 11.0% 提到涉及与 CAM 提供者互动的跨专业教育活动。最常报道的教学方法是讲座、阅读、观察或接受 CAM 治疗。这项分析的结果表明，提供 CAM 教学的医学院比之前报道的要少，而且教授 CAM 的学校针对该主题的方法多种多样。
An analysis of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in US medical school curriculum was undertaken. Websites for 130 US medical schools were systematically analyzed for course listings and content. Half of the schools (50.8%) offered at least one CAM course or clerkship. A total of 127 different course listings were identified, embracing a range of topics and methods of instruction. The most frequently listed topics were traditional medicine, acupuncture, spirituality, and herbs, along with the general topic of CAM. Nearly 25.0% of the courses referenced personal growth or self-care through CAM practices, while only 11.0% referenced inter-professional education activities involving interaction with CAM providers. The most frequently reported instructional methods were lectures, readings, and observation of, or receiving a CAM treatment. The findings of this analysis indicated fewer medical schools offered instruction in CAM than previously reported and a wide range of approaches to the topic across the schools where CAM is taught.
