Graduate Certificate in Evidence-Based Complementary Medicines

The Graduate Certificate in Evidence-Based Complementary Medicines is a part-time postgraduate course that will expand pharmacists’ knowledge of complementary medicines and cultivate the research and skills to deliver high-quality, evidence-based patient centred care.

This course has been specifically developed to equip pharmacists with the knowledge and skills required to provide evidence-based information about the efficacy and safety of complementary medicines including drug-herb and drug-nutrient interactions.

The course covers how to identify reliable and reputable information on the efficacy and safety of complementary medicines commonly used in the management of health and disease and how this evidence can be communicated in day to day practice.
