Course Name: Complementary medicine (CMT101)

Complementary medicine is one micro-course (short course) from a suite of Micro Courses developed by the University of Tasmania. This micro course, in particular, is part of the The Diploma of Sustainable Living. Which is a complete degree you could enrol in if you find yourself wanting to learn more about Food Security, Sustainability or the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals?

These micro-courses are 1/3 of an award course (full course) that a traditional student would enrol in at the University of Tasmania. These courses have been designed to allow learners to engage and sample learning from a higher education institution before deciding on their next step. Remembering all learning on OERu is free and assessments are always optional.

The unit helps you develop critical thinking and an appreciation of diverse approaches as CMT contains many confounding issues and perspectives.

What is the course about
At the core of this unit is the question: How can we achieve Complementary medicine in the 21st century and what role might you play in this?

We hope that you can keep this question in mind throughout the unit as achieving Complementary medicine will require participation across all of society.
