Thanks Sir
I do agree with the inputs provided by you.
The question exist here is how and when to incorporate the teaching of other system of medicine. at the time of UG education or some specialised courses.
Please emphasise this issue.
With regards,

Dear Dr. Anand,
Again one nice topic for discussion.
In all systems of medicines, basic subjects like Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Microbiology, Biochemistry are taught.
Only difference is in the teaching of 'PHARMACOTHERAPEUTICS'.
Therapeutic part in Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Modern Pharmacology differ in principles.
Modern medicines also have medicines obtained from plants, like digoxin, atropine, quinine etc.
Therefore cross curriculum development is not so difficult.
Each system would teach its own therapeutics in detail plus basic principles of other systems.
Such type of trained doctors would practice their systems primarily, with support from other systems when and where needed for ultimate benefit of patients.
Bharat Gajjar.
