CAREER PATHWAY FOR NUTRITIONAL THERAPIST
Along with other recognised complementary medical modalities such as osteopathy, chiropractic, hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, the practice of nutritional medicine in Malaysia requires a graduate -entry qualification since its qualifying and practical training programmes are examined at a post-graduate/post-experience level. The professional body for nutritional therapists is the Association of Nutritional Medicine Practitioners Malaysia (www.anmp.org.my), which is a voting member of the Federation of Complementary & Natural Medical Associations Malaysia (www.fcnmam.org.my). The Federation is the umbrella body for all complementary medical societies (Badan Pengamal Perubatan Traditional dan Komplementari) recognised by the Ministry of Health, Traditional & Complementary Medicine (T&CM) Division (www.tcm.moh.gov.my). The Traditional & Complementary Medical Act 2012, passed by Parliament during September and was gazetted in February 2013, provides for the establishment of a T&CM Council to oversee all aspects of the practice and training for complementary medicine. The FCNMAM is a member of the T&CM Council.
