Complementary and Alternative Medicine Degrees: New Configurations of Knowledge, Professional Autonomy and the University

该项目探讨了补充和替代医学（CAM）大学学位作为专业和认识论索赔的网站。CAM学位的出现被认为意味着CAM在生物医学方面的专业地位的提高，但CAM在大学内的实际构成尚未被研究。通过确定影响CAM程度的形式和内容的因素，该项目将衡量不同CAM模式的相对自主性及其与生物医学的关系。更广泛地说，这个项目将产生一个更好的理论框架，以了解知识，专业自主权和大学之间的关系在卫生专业的背景下不断变化。

This project explores complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) university degrees as sites of professional and epistemological claims-making. The emergence of CAM degrees is thought to signify CAM's increased professional status in relation to biomedicine, yet the actual constitution of CAM within the university has not been studied. By identifying the factors influencing the form and content of CAM degrees, this project will gauge the relative autonomy of different CAM modalities and their evolving relation to biomedicine. More broadly, this project will produce a better theoretical framework for understanding the shifting relationship between knowledge, professional autonomy and the university in the context of the health professions.
