Will Duct Tape Cures My Warts? Examining Complementary and Alternative Medicine

The NN/LM SCR is offering the free workshop Will Duct Tape Cures My Warts? Examining Complementary and Alternative Medicine at The Texas Medical Center Library in Houston, TX on Wednesday, November 9, 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM.

The goal of this class is to increase understanding of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Participants will learn the history of CAM and its impact on medical practices. They will learn how CAM is used, how to avoid “bad science” and how to look up evidence of the effectiveness of CAM therapies. Learning activities will include forums, chats, viewing web presentations, and assignments.

This class is free and open to the public. It is approved for Continuing Education credit and the Consumer Health Information Specialization from the Medical Library Association.
