CAM at Universities

In developed countries such as the USA, Australia, Canada, but also the United Kingdom and others, more and more often, CAM treatment methods are becoming consolidated, their methodology refined, and appropriate curricula are being developed (in cooperation with professional organizations). These methods are then given the status of an independent field of study. New fields are thus being taught at universities. Although the treatment techniques have a long history, they are only just entering universities.

The following foreign universities (209) teach at least one CAM therapy as an independent field of study. Research teams from some European universities have also participated in the research project CAMbrella (see page 97). The following list is not exhaustive:
