"Conventional" medicine is a term coined to separate it from "alternative" or "complementary" medicine. In reality there's only "medicine" and "stuff that isn't medicine" but we make these distinctions for ease of use in conversation.
It's nothing to do with tradition. Religions are traditions, but most preclude the existance of each other. People believed the Earth was the centre of the universe for many years. You could call that a tradition. Just because people pass it down to their children doesn't make it true.
