[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

 

I suspect the results of this study may well give us some things to think about,

and take action on.  FYI.

RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM WILL EXPLORE THE SCIENCE OF COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE

MEDICINE

 

WHAT: 

The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM)

will celebrate a decade of rigorous research with NCCAM's 10th

Anniversary Research Symposium: Exploring the Science of Complementary

and Alternative Medicine.  Speakers will discuss topics including

natural products, mind-body medicine, and the intersection of behavioral science

and integrative medicine.

They include Jeffrey I. Gordon, M.D., Claire M. Fraser-Liggett, Ph.D.,

Joseph P. Noel, Ph.D., Bruce R. Rosen, M.D., Ph.D., Richard J.

Davidson, Ph.D., and keynote speaker Susan Folkman, Ph.D.

 

WHY: 

People have used some complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)

therapies since ancient times and often with little scientific

evidence.  Since its inception in 1999, NCCAM has addressed the need to

examine CAM approaches through the scope of rigorous scientific

research and supported more than 2,200 research projects at scientific

institutions across the United States and around the world. This

symposium will highlight advances in the field of CAM research.

 

WHEN:   Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. ET

 

WHERE:  Masur Auditorium, Building 10, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda,

Maryland
