  • Descrição: Little is known about the education of future CM practitioners. The objective is to explore the perceptions and experiences of students, faculty and professional leaders toward technologies in complementary medicine education and practice. Qualitative focus groups and one-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted in CM educational organizations and institutions in North America (United States / Canada) and Australia involving seven focus groups (29 naturopathic students), and 30 one-on-one interviews (faculty, educational and professional leaders of the naturopathic profession). Data analysis identified five issues reported. These related to perceptions of; the shortfalls of CM classroom technology, the value of technology within CM clinical practice, learning technologies in the classroom, addressing equity concerns as a consequence of learning technology use, and the need to develop technology literacy skills amongst students and faculty. This is the first study to examine the perceptions of students, faculty and professional leaders toward technologies in CM education and practice within an education setting. CM students exhibited complex attitudes and adoption patterns to technology. CM students were critical of faculty who have perceived low levels of digital literacy. The technology issue that students in our study found most challenging was PowerPoint use in the classroom. There is an urgent need to establish a strategic research agenda and modelling around this important area of health care education in order to ensure a well-educated, effective workforce able to deliver the best outcomes for the patients and communities they serve. •This research explores perceptions and experiences towards technology and learning technologies by future CM practitioners in education settings.•CM student respondents reported negative perceptions to the use of PowerPoint, found it to be linear, restrictive and were critical of its use.•Evidence of a digital divide between students and academics emerged, with students reported being critical of faculty who have perceived low levels of digital literacy•The requirements of providing some or all of a course online potentially discriminates against older, digitally-challenged, less digitally literate students.•Further research is important for CM education leaders if trends in Education to learning technologies are not being adopted similarly within CM educational institutions.
