Traditional Medicine in a Modern World | Arti Patel | TEDxDrakeU

Does it have to be traditional vs. ‘modern’ medicine? Or is there a merit in both? This talk explores the usefulness of certain medical practices that might seem outdated and highlights the similarities of medical practices in different cultures.

Arti is currently a Senior at Drake University from Chicago, Illinois. She will graduate in May with a degree in Neuroscience and Biology. She is involved in various student organizations and does research in the neuroscience department at Drake. Having family from India, but growing up in the US has shaped her life and ignited a passion for medicine and public health. She is intrigued by the cultural difference and similarities in the medical field.

I love this talk and agree with these notions! I also made a video discussing blending modern and traditional medicine on my channel 😊
