"coexistence and cooperation of traditional and modern medicine"
showing a path for medical education in the cooperative medical era
Medical foundations claiming cooperation between Eastern and Western medicine have increased dramatically in recent years.
What can be called true cooperation between the two medicines?
How can modern and traditional medicine bond together in an age when only the most up-to-date scientific discoveries may survive?
In which forms have cooperative medicine developed in other countries?
Regarding this growth of cooperative medicine, what should be considered and improved in educating future doctors?
