This course will deal with in-depth analyses and comparison of several traditional non-western healthcare philosophies and approaches including Eastern (Chinese), Middle Eastern, Latino, and Native American. Students will explore cultural factors related to therapeutic motivation including health-related beliefs and values, the quality of the health professional-patient communication process, and issues related to client control of treatment and dependency on the health professional and healthcare system.

  • HSC 410: Complementary Health Care

    3.00 Credits
    Sage College of Albany

People have become increasingly cynical and distrustful of Western, technological, medicine. They are looking for a health care approach that treats the whole body, as opposed to the fragmentation that?s inherent in western medicine. Many of these alternative approaches, however, are not new. They are modern applications of, or borrowings from, indigenous medical systems, folk medical, Asia medical systems, etc. These approaches are grounded in the mind-body nature of disease, illness, and health. This course will provide the student with an overview of alternative medicine, complimentary, integrative health care, its history, philosophies, and techniques. The course format will be one of lecture, demonstration, and laboratory experiences. This course is restricted to Health Sciences majors only or non-majors may request permission from the Health Sciences Program Coordinator to enroll.Prerequisite: Health Science Majors Only.
