Integrative Medicine (IM) is a concern of many people. We consider IM to be very important in Health Science, especially Clinical Laboratory Science. We will start a new program named "Introduction to Integrative Health Science", which covers the relationship of Health Science and IM, in addition to "Introduction to Healthy Food and Supplement". These programs will bring a new angle to the education of Clinical Laboratory Science as Health Science. We have held various community health education sessions about IM, which have helped to explain Clinical Laboratory Science as well as the scientific evaluation of IM. We hope that Clinical Laboratory Science Education will develop further in the future.
