“In Scientists We Trust. Or Should We?” is a workshop designed by Professor Vladimir Trkulja, MD, PhD, in which he will interactively go through basic science and research principles regarding complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for the treatment of anxiety and depressive disorders. Through discussion and examples, students will learn more about critical thinking and whether they can trust all published randomised controlled clinical trials in this area.
