What do future physicians think of traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM)? Fifteen years after the inclusion of TCIM in the Swiss constitution
Knowing the views of medical students as the future generation of physicians, clinical scientists, and often also decision-makers in the context of policy-driven integration is crucial in understanding the future trajectory of TCIM into mainstream healthcare. Based on Switzerland's unique experience and history in this context this work contributes to the broader discourse on the role of TCIM in national healthcare systems.
