Dear Dr. Anupama In my opinion, it should be made mandatory rather than optional subjects Just take an example of a patient under Ayurvedic treatment, goes to allopathic doctor in medical emergency The allopathic doctor must be aware of the patient's existing medication i.e., ayurvedic medicines the patient taking already Hence it should be made mandatory to study all other systems of medicine in the final year of UG I dont say exactly, to what extent it is possible.

It is not wise to fit into PG curriculum as one may stop his/her education at UG. The subject may be 'Alternative Therapeutics' as suggested by Dr. Bharat, or it may be 'Alternative Therapies' Dr. Srisailam --- On Fri, 17/7/09, gajjarbm <gajjarbm@yahoo. com> wrote: From: gajjarbm <gajjarbm@yahoo. com> Subject: [netrum] Re: Cross curriculum for different systems of medicines To: netrum@yahoogroups. com Date: Friday, 17 July, 2009, 4:09 PM   Dear Dr. Anand, Of course,at UG level. In the last year of any system, we may introduce such course/subject. One subject may be added in the last year-subject title may be e.g.-'Alternative Therapeutics' .
