Integration of Complementary and Alternative Medicine into Clinical Practice: Evidence-Based Medicine
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; Baltimore, MD
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has been used for centuries to treat a wide variety of ailments. Recently, the American public is opting to use CAM in lieu, or along with, conventional medicine, fostering the outgrowth of a multi-billion dollar industry. The course is directed towards oncologists, internists, primary-care providers, orthopaedists, rheumatologists, CAM practitioners and students interested in these fields. It is imperative for health-care workers to recognize this growing demand for CAM and to identify the different modalities that have therapeutic and/or palliative value. Technological advancement in preclinical and clinical studies is beginning to offer science-based CAM strategies. This symposium provides an overview of the approaches to CAM and its application in clinical practice. It also presents state-of-the-art technology and models to evaluate the safety, efficacy and utility of these CAM modalities for clinical use.
Fees: Physicians $450
Allied Health Professionals $400
