Training concept of integrative medicine in Hungary based on international models / Az integratív medicina képzésének hazai koncepciója nemzetközi minták alapján.

Integrative medicine is a new approach in the 21st century healthcare system, which integrates conventional medicine and evidence-based, safe and efficient complementary therapies into a unified biomedicine. Medical doctors and complementary therapists work together in partnership with patients to help them recover and live a whole life. Equally important is the maintenance and enhancement of health and well-being in which therapists become role-models. In this article, the authors introduce a proposal for the concept and major elements of a two-year integrative medicine postgraduate training for specialist doctors in Hungary and summarize international progress in the field.
