The module will equip you with the necessary background knowledge on different religions, vegetarianism and types of animal-based derivatives in medication to enable you to have an informed discussion with your patients. It also gives instructions on how to properly educate patients and identify alternative treatments, thereby strengthening the doctor-patient relationship and ensuring adherence.
