A new career pathway: a view from Switzerland of a federally licensed 'Naturheilpraktiker' specialising in TCM
Description
EJOM (2015), Fuhlrott-Capello, Carla.
Abstract
Alternative medicine is actively used in Switzerland and, with over 2,500 practitioners (practising TCM, Ayurveda, traditional European naturopathy [TEN] and homeopathy methods), enjoys significant popularity and favour among the Swiss population. Despite qualitatively high training standards and well-supervised continuing education, the alternative medical practitioner profession is not regulated. In the last 15 years, the professional associations of the aforementioned specialisations have been jointly advocatting for alternative medical practitioners to have their own career pathway, and now we are about to reach that goal.
