Course contents

In recent decades, in Europe and the United States, the use of integrated and complementary therapies has shown a constant increase, leading several hospitals in both the United States and Italy to introduce Integrated and Complementary Therapy (ICT) services. The World Health Organization has initiated a strategic plan for the promotion of Integrated Medicine and its integration into national healthcare systems based on scientific evidence.
Integrated Medicine is an important and often underestimated part of healthcare, used in nearly all countries worldwide, with growing demand for its services. In Italy, the Superior Institute of Health (ISS) established the Integrated and Natural Substances Study Group (TISNa) more than 10 years ago. This group collects multidisciplinary experiences on all aspects related to the use of natural substances and ICT to identify their benefits and any adverse events.
ICTs of proven quality, safety, and efficacy contribute to ensuring a coherent and complementary approach to healthcare, allowing healthcare professionals, especially those who use healthcare services, to access ICT safely. Within the realm of ICT, medical cannabis prescription (DM 9/11/2015) for use in chronic pain and other pathologies, as well as oxygen-ozone therapy, which has various therapeutic indications supported by solid evidence, such as in orthopedic pathologies, are included.
Additionally, the master's program will cover the basics of nutraceuticals, clinical nutrition, phytotherapy, and other widely used integrated therapies as support for standard treatments. Given these premises, it is clear that the training of professionals with updated and in-depth knowledge in the field of ICT is becoming crucial.
This master's program will delve into preclinical and clinical aspects of ICT and related issues. It offers a common path open to graduates in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology (CTF), licensed physicians, and biologists, focusing on the main themes related to ICT. Moreover, the program allows Pharmacy and CTF graduates to undertake a practical path in a galenic laboratory. For licensed physicians, it is possible to have a practical experience as medical prescribers of medical cannabis or in the use of oxygen-ozone therapy. Biologists can pursue practical training at nutritionist biologist studios or with other clinical nutrition experts.

The master's program aims to train professionals who can work in the pharmaceutical, nutritional, and medical fields with enhanced knowledge in ICT.

1)Pharmacist/Physician/Biologist with additional knowledge to advise clients/patients on the use and effectiveness of various integrated therapies.
2)Pharmacist with theoretical and practical experience in the preparation of galenic formulations covered in the master's program.
3)Pharmacist/Physician/Biologist with knowledge in the regulatory aspects related to the use and commercialization of galenic and non-galenic products in relation to ICT.
4)Pharmacist/Physician/Biologist with knowledge in the regulatory aspects related to the use, commercialization, and therapeutic effectiveness of medical cannabis.
5)Physician with theoretical and practical knowledge in oxygen-ozone therapy.
6)Pharmacist/Physician/Biologist with knowledge in clinical nutrition.
