Offering an online course: complementary and alternative therapies in nursing practice.
With 30% to 80% of adults in industrialized countries using complementary and alternative therapies, faculty at one university recognized a need for a complementary and alternative therapies course at the graduate level. The course includes concepts for master's students and doctoral students, presents a variety of topics, and allows students to interview a practitioner in a field they are particularly interested in.
