项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): The purpose of the Tufts Program in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (EBCAM),is to graduate medical students with the knowledge, attitudes and skills to critically evaluate complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapies and selectively integrate them into their future practices of allopathic medicine. This will be accomplished through the development and implementation of an enhanced four-year curriculum that incorporates evidenced-based CAM into the allopathic educational program at Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM). The initiative will be organized into three principal, interrelated activities that constitute its specific aims: (1) Creation and maintenance of an interactive, electronic resource devoted to the clinical application of CAM in the allopathic setting. Students, faculty and staff from TUSM and other institutions will collaborate to develop a fully digitized CAM Resource Center consisting of continuously updated information on CAM extensively linked to the rest of TUSM's electronic curriculum and to external sources of evidence-based CAM data. (2) Review of the pre-clinical curriculum and integration of selected CAM content therein. Curricular reviewers will work with faculty from selected courses to develop and incorporate CAM material into the existing curriculum, and create specific links from the allopathic curriculum to the CAM Reference Center. No attempt will be made to create an independent survey course in CAM. (3) Development of a clinical CAM curriculum in the third and fourth years. Students will critically review the CAM literature as it pertains to the care of patients they encounter in their family medicine clerkship; they will interact with virtual CAM cases in all of their third-year rotations; and selected fourth- year students will participate in a combined clinical and research elective in CAM. Two overriding principles will govern all activities of the program. First, as its title suggests, EBCAM will be held to the highest available standards of scientific evidence, helping to insure that TUSM graduates critical thinkers. Second, EBCAM will not be a solitary endeavor, but will involve extensive interdisciplinary collaboration with other professions and institutions, most notably the New England School of Acupuncture.

描述（由申请人提供）：塔夫茨计划的目的基于证据的互补和替代医学（EBCAM）是毕业具有知识，态度和技能的医学生评估互补和替代医学（CAM）疗法并有选择地评估将它们整合到他们未来的同种疗法医学实践中。这将是通过开发和实施增强将基于证据的CAM纳入同种疗法的四年课程塔夫茨大学医学院（TUSM）的教育计划。这倡议将被组织成三个主要的，相互关联的活动构成其具体目的：（1）创建和维护交互式，专门用于CAM临床应用的电子资源同种疗法设置。 TUSM和其他的学生，教职员工机构将合作开发一个完全数字化的CAM资源中心由连续更新的CAM的信息广泛链接到 TUSM的其余电子课程和基于证据的外部来源凸轮数据。（2）回顾临床前课程和选定的整合其中的凸轮内容。课程审阅者将与选定的教师合作开发和将CAM材料纳入现有课程的课程，并创建从同种疗法课程到CAM参考的特定链接中心。不会尝试在CAM中创建独立的调查课程。（3）在第三年和第四年开发临床CAM课程。学生将严格审查与护理有关的CAM文学他们在家庭医学职员中遇到的患者；他们会的在所有三年级轮换中与虚拟CAM病例相互作用；和选定的四年级学生将参加合并的临床和 CAM的研究选修课。两个覆盖原则将管辖所有活动程序。首先，正如其标题所暗示的那样，EBCAM将保持最高可用的科学证据标准，有助于确保TUSM 毕业生批判性思想家。其次，EBCAM不会是孤独的努力，而是将涉及与其他专业的广泛跨学科合作和机构，最著名的是新英格兰针灸学校。
