Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 LHC has made it very clear. They are advising the state to eliminate any pretense that we are allowed to make western dx. And further, we will be stripped of our right to order any and all lab tests. If we want to do that, the LHC suggests we go to medical school or get specialized postgrad certification. This is quite reasonable, as current training, even at the 3400 hour PCOM program, bloated as it with western science, does not provide adequate education in western dx. It is possible that those who achieve a DAOM in a program that does teach these methods could have this aspect of the scope restored. But I would not hold my breath as ACAOM has not mandated enough western med in the DAOM program to satisfy state regulators on this accord.

The suggestion made was that the western biomed classes be taken at a " real " university or college. This would cut down on costs for students while also giving them better basic science education. The basic science classes at a Community College are both better and much cheaper than those taught at PCOM. Brian C. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
