Abstract
COHEN, Chapman University School of Law, Anaheim, California 92660 USA writes that European providers of complementary medicine may be surprised by the formal strictures faced by their American counterparts .
Background
Methodology
Results
This review focuses upon the legal status of non-licensed (or "unenfranchised") providers rather than the scope of practice. For such providers the seeking of occupational licensure could provide a measure of protection against medical practice acts, as well as elevating their professional competence and prestige. Many holistic providers, however, prefer to remain outside regulatory schemes, and thus mandatory licensure, title licensure and registration offer some means of upgrading professional status and the achievement of state sanction for professional practice.
