Description
In this document, medical providers and practices are generally described as traditional, complementary/alternative, or allopathic. ��Provider�� and ��practitioner�� are used interchangeably. In a few cases, particularly in the European section, the cumbersome term ��non-allopathic physician�� is used to refer to medical practitioners who are either not allopathic practitioners or who are allopathic providers but not physicians.
