None of which supports the conclusion that CAM is valid medicine.https://twitter.com/usnehal/status/997323684137365504 …

If not allopathic, what do you call medicine by MDs? DOs practice osteopathic medicine. CAM is a non-specific term for music therapy, acupuncture, etc. I understand you personally dislike the term or the history. It is a standardly used one.https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-terms/def/allopathic-medicine …

I am genuinely perplexed. Communication on Twitter requires use of words. What is the right word? Allopathic is used in JAMA and Academic Medicine. It is used in undergrad advising programs to identify potential paths (MD, DO, etc). Is in usage. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/12425709/ …

It is important to use the right lens, not bias when forming judgments. Allopathic (vs osteopathic) is commonly used in medical education or licensing agencies. “Most students attend traditional (or allopathic) medical schools that offer an MD.” http://medschool.ucla.edu/body.cfm?id=1158&action=detail&ref=1019 …

Changing status quo, eradicating a word used by med schools, ACGME, JAMA is an ambitious goal. Look at how hard it has been eradicate the N word. If you feel strongly about the word, best of luck. I hear you on who coined it and history. There are many similar battles on words.

Please review my original tweets. Lack of consistency in standards was why I replied. We’ve already uncovered a false assumption you made. Allopathic is a term used broadly, not only by “CAM advocates.” Anyone with ACGME or regulatory experience will similarly confuse you.
