Later, he became\u00a0Professor in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) at Hannover Medical School and Head of the PMR Department at the University of Vienna. In 1993, he moved to the UK and became\u00a0Chair in Complementary Medicine at the University of Exeter. He is founder\/Editor-in-Chief of two medical journals (Perfusion<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies<\/a><\/em>).<\/em><\/p>\n He has published\u00a048 books and\u00a0more than\u00a01000 articles in the peer-reviewed medical literature. His work\u00a0has been awarded with 14 scientific prizes. In 1999, he took British nationality.<\/p>\n His research focussed on the critical evaluation of all aspects of alternative medicine. Unlike most of his colleagues, he does not aim to promote a particular therapy. His goal is to provide objective evidence and reliable information. It is fair to say that this ambition did not endear him to many quasi-religious believers in alternative medicine.<\/p>\n Healthy Skepticism is republishing selections from Dr. Ernst’s blog with permission.
