Allopathic medicine refers to which of the following?

• A. Alternative/Complementary medicine
• B. Allopathic medicine
• C. Advocacy
• D. Resident

Answer: (B)

Allopathic medicine refers to the conventional Western medical practice that uses evidence-based treatments—such as prescription drugs, surgery, and diagnostic procedures—to diagnose and treat disease. This is the standard medical approach used in most hospitals and clinics. The other terms point to different concepts: Alternative/Complementary medicine describes non-mainstream therapies used alongside or instead of conventional care; advocacy is about supporting patients' rights and access to care; and a resident is a physician-in-training. So the term that matches the standard medical approach is allopathic medicine.
