International Collaborations to Enhance the Science of CAM: Past, Present, and Future

This one-day symposium sponsored by the International Society for Complementary Medicine Research (ISCMR) highlights international collaborations, and unique basic science approaches being developed on other continents. This symposium will supplement the NARCCIM conference, and will include 9 plenary sessions and interactive roundtables. The morning plenary focuses on the types of multidisciplinary cross-national research studies that are made strong by patterns of diversity that do not exist within individual countries, and will include focus on the collaborative process as well as design and results. The early afternoon plenary will highlight novel biomarkers and mechanisms of action of CAM therapies emerging from research in locales other than North America, and will offer the potential for building new collaborations and developing new research directions. Finally, the late afternoon interactive session will have the conference presenters, their research team members, and conference attendees join into special interest groups to identify critical next steps in particular research areas (synthesis papers, synthetic workshops, and collaborative research projects), prepare brief outlines of those consensus concepts, and present the best back to the group. This activity is designed to enhance the likelihood of new collaborations and research directions resulting from the symposium. For a complete program, go to the ISCMR website: www.iscmr.org.
