Abstract
The growing interest in and use of alternative and complementary therapies by health care professionals and laypersons, the incorporation of these therapies in medical curricula and practice, and the greater acceptance of the legitimacy of such treatment methods require that nurse educators consider how this content may be incorporated into curricula. The authors propose that prelicensure students learn the premises that support such healing practices and develop skill in eliciting and evaluating patients' use of alternative therapies. In-depth study of one or more complementary therapies may be the focus of continuing education or elective courses. Students in graduate programs may investigate the safety and efficacy of nonorthodox therapies.
