Objectives and competences
The process of integrating the two types of medicine (conventional Western medicine and traditional medicine) has led universities to invest human and economic capital in researching the impact of this integration on health. In this context, this programme provides training in the application of neuroanatomical and neurophysiological bases to treat complex pathologies (pain, side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, women's pathology) and to ensure a healthy lifestyle. Currently no other training with similar characteristics is offered.
