I recently started working for a clinical research project. It is an integrative medicine project involving the use of alternative treatments in addition to the typical medical care received by other patients in the same hospital unit. Does anyone know how this might be viewed by medical schools? Would this not be viewed as highly as something in more traditional medicine? My PI is an MD, and the research is taking place at my state university's hospital, so its not like I'm doing research with an acupuncturist or other nontraditional practitioner. I'm just wondering because a lot of people are suspicious of non-western medicine.
