Conclusion: Simulation was used for training of somecomplementary medicine therapies such as chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy,cupping therapy and osteopathy. Using simulation in complementary medicine education isrecommended to ensure a safe environment for training. Conducting high quality clinicaltrials to evaluate the use of simulation in complementary medicine education is highlyrecommended.
