The most important challenges are legal and ethical challenges, regulation, formulation and implementation of the training program and attention to research-orientedness and validity of research, especially complementary medicine clinical research. Every medical field needs legislation, control and legal supervision from inside or outside the organization. In addition to guaranteeing the quality, efficiency and reducing the risk of using tools and methods, this work prevents any abuse and fraud. This issue is more important in the field of complementary medicine, where there is a great need for a relationship based on trust between the therapist and the patient.Conclusion: Integrating of traditional and complimentary medicine into conventional medicine, despite its many advantages, faces serious challenges that require appropriate stategies in the fields of law making, regulatory and quality control, education and research. In the legal field, it is necessary to have appropriate laws for the purpose of issuing employment licenses and clarifying the quality standards of specialists, including avoiding negligence and mistakes, and compensating for damages through increasing medical liability insurance coverage and ways to avoid legal liability, including acquiring Informed consent and privacy should be included in the rules. Regulation in both product and specialist sectors should be implemented carefully in terms of quality, safety and efficiency of products and methods

Background and Objective: The advancement of science and technology in the field of electronic communications has caused huge changes in the scientific, practical and applied fields, including educational and therapeutic services. Smart medical universities and smart hospitals are one of these important developments. Each of these new ideas has its own advantages and disadvantages.Methods: First, the literature of the article was reviewed using e-books, and articles, then the qualitative data was analyzed through content analysis and an applied theory titled the “Integrated Digital-Human Health” was presented.Results: Reduction of training costs, no need for a training place, the possibility of using multimedia tools, flexibility in the time and method of training, facilitating the storage of materials, reducing the time and cost of travel, and speeding up interactive processes are known among the advantages of virtual training. More access to services, better selection of centers and doctors, ease of hospitalization and use of services, remote control of patient condition and better support of service recipients are considered to be the advantages of virtual hospitals.Conclusion: Due to the difficulty and sensitivity of some concepts and the practicality of some medical courses, it is not possible to teach in this field only through virtual means. Therefore, combined training consisting of face-to-face and virtual classes is recommended. The field of medical sciences, which is a human-oriented field with an emphasis on the relationship between doctors and paramedics and patients, should not be satisfied only with the virtual relationship that strengthens the sense of isolation

Background and Objective: Industrial living conditions, the increase in the population of elderly people and the occurrence of chronic and incurable diseases have caused patients to use drugs and complementary and alternative medicine methods, including methods based on biofield or aura. These methods do not have the risks of side effects of chemical drugs and the high cost of common modern medical treatments. In order to be used optimally, this ancient medicine needs legal control and supervision in order to prevent financial abuse and fraud, as well as the negligence of therapists.Methods: Regulatory methods and laws for complementary and alternative medicine in the world have been reviewed and the best regulatory methods and laws for it in Iran have been presented.Results: Every medical field requires legislation, legal control supervision, and even inspection. In addition to ensuring quality, efficiency, and reducing the risk of using tools and methods, such measures help prevent abuse and fraud. This issue is particularly significant in the field of complementary medicine, where there is a great need for a relationship based on trust between the therapist and the patient.Conclusion: Due to the high risk of financial abuse and fraud, it is necessary to develop and enforce the necessary regulations to address false claims and fraud in the use of complementary and alternative medicine methods. Educational standards should also be carefully applied in this field to prevent the employment of uninformed and unqualified people in this field, because the activity of these people causes damage to people's trust.
