RE: Digest Number 303

[Guest guest]

Hi Ken,

Interesting question, I have studied here in Spain, so I don't know how courses

are in the rest of the world. I would say that here we could have learned more

about running a clinic as a business, marketing management, etc. That is

something really important, that wasn't covered. I also think that more could

be made of studying western medicine, to make the course more complete. I

notice that in more recent promotions, the courses are becoming better in the

medical side, but the business side is completely lacking.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes
