Abstract
The field of complementary medicine (CM) is still thriving in several nations. A rise in enrollment at CM educational establishments in both public and private tertiary sectors has indeed been tightly linked to the global popularity of CM. This work presents the very first critical analysis of relevant research analyzing CM education research in direct response to this significant gap. 18 publications out of the 9496 that were found matched the study's criteria for inclusion (English language, kind of CM professionals' education), and they focused on four main problems: CM educational offerings and provision; the development of educational competencies to develop clinical skills and standards; the application of new educational theory, methods and technology in CM; and future challenges facing CM education. This critical integrative review highlights two key issues of interest and significance for CM educational institutions, CM regulators, and researchers, and points to a number of significant gaps in this area of research.
