At least 85 % of Québécois are in favour of the recognition of alternative and complementary medicine. Nine students from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at the Université de Sherbrooke, while pursuing their university studies, organized a major event devoted to non-traditional medical options. On 11 March 2006, more than 250 students in the health fields thus took part in the second Congrès d’information sur les médecines alternatives et complémentaires. The future doctors had the opportunity to attend clinical demonstrations as well as lectures given by renowned experts. The highly instructive experience enabled them, among other things, to obtain information on underestimated practices – which are nonetheless based on convincing scientific evidence – such as osteopathy, naturopathy and Chinese medicine. In order to successfully carry out the project, the organizers obtained financial support from reputable investors such as the Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon, RBC Financial Group and Sogemec assurances. This remarkable initiative is the first step towards reconciliation between alternative and traditional medicine and will enable the doctors of tomorrow to offer a wider range of medical options.
