I disagree. It is in the best interest of the public for the fraudulent nature of homeopathy to be exposed. The opportunity cost of delaying actual medical treatment in favour of bogus ones such as homeopathy is too great to be neglected, which is why I find it highly disturbing for a medical/pharmaceutical school to simultaneously offer a course in homeopathy. It's no different from a church preaching atheism or a history teacher claiming the non-existence of the Holocaust.
Hey Brachial Plexus, did you mention those things above on behalf on MBBS (WA) , or just your own thoughts?
U need to bear in mind complementary medicine needs to be embraced and patient WILL STILL USE IT REGARDLESS.
I have friends who are medstudent/doctors that believe in homeopathy, not that i believe in them, but i dont disregard it like u do.
Have u had lectures yet on complementary medicine? They should have some professor of herbal medicine/complementary meds/homeopathy or something.
I hope when u meet ur patients in hospital and u came across such patients, do keep an open mind on it, or else UWA will kill u zz.

What is the logic of CUCMS offering such program along side MBBS and B.Pharmacy? I believe you told us in the past that you might ask the reason from your Uni.
Well?
Isnt that simple? it's the $$ just now like how some other medschool offering chiropractic and TCM =)
