On Nov. 28, the Research Division - Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine (formerly Center for Indigenous Medicine), in commemoration of Traditional and Alternative Health Care Month, organized a symposium on complementary and alternative medicine, followed by an introductory relaxation meditative massage workshop in the afternoon. Pictures above and below show the Introductory Massage workshop facilitated by Dr. Dante G. Simbulan, Jr., who is himself a DOH-certified massage therapist. Dr. Simbulan encouraged the participants to do self-study of massage with a lot of available training resources in massage books, video, internet information, and opportunities for home practice, before they embark on full-blown massage courses. CIM extends its gratitude to the HRD for extending its assistance in recruiting participants to the workshop. In the future, full-blown certification massage courses will be conducted by CIM for allied health professionals and high school graduates who wish to embark on a career in the Wellness industry.
On the morning of Nov 28, a 3 hour symposium on "Complementary and Alternative Medicine for the Masses: Issues and Challenges" was held, sponsored by the CIM- Research Division/ Office of the Director for Research Support and Extension Services. The guest speaker was Dr. Jaime Galvez-Tan, former DOH Secretary and UP Professor of the Dept of Family and Community Medicine. of UP Manila.
