Regulating CAM Practices and Practitioners
Publication Date:

Format:
Information Sheet
Abstract
This information sheet is the fourth in a series of sheets on complementary/alternative (CAM) health care and HIV/AIDS. It considers different types of regulation: licensure, certification, and registration; the type of regulation used with conventional practitioners; and the fact that some conventional practitioners incorporate CAM therapies into their practice. The information sheet suggests some sort of professional code as a beginning for CAM practitioners who are not yet regulated. The question of aboriginal healers and the issue of liability for malpractice by CAM practitioners are discussed.Publisher:
