PHE 551 Women and Holistic Health

Exploring the intersection of three fields --allopathic medicine, women's health, and complementary therapies-- the course examines the emerging field of integrative medicine, highlighting the contributions that women care givers and healers have made to its development. An overview of common women's health concerns provides the opportunity to compare and contrast essential elements of holistic treatment approaches with those of allopathic medicine. Also offered for undergraduate-level credit as PHE 451 and may be taken only once for credit. Expected preparation: PHE 295 or WS 101.
