Abstract
Integrative and Complementary Health Practices (ICP), also called by the World Health Organization (WHO) (WHO, 2002) as traditional medicines, were instituted by the Ministry of Health (MH) in 2006 through the National Policy for Integrative Practices in Health (PNPIC). Most of the care is provided at the Basic Health Units (BHU) in the Primary Care component. The data from the MS report that considering primary care and services of medium and high complexity, there are currently 25.197 health facilities in the country offering ICPs. The pharmacist can perform all 29 practices that are offered in the Unified Health System (SUS), provided that has the proper training. The Ministry of Education (MEC), through Resolution 6/2017, establishes Curriculum Guidelines for pharmaceutical training that include education in PICs. Therefore, it is clear the importance and necessity of the movement of educational entities to implement the new Guidelines required by the MEC for Pharmacy Courses in the country.
