Yale Research Symposium on Complementary and Integrative Medicine
Thursday, March 4, 2010
Harkness Auditorium at the Yale School of Medicine
The Yale School of Medicine and Integrative Medicine at Yale are holding
the Yale Research Symposium on Complementary and Integrative Medicine on
Thursday, March 4th in Harkness Auditorium at the Yale School of
Medicine in New Haven, CT. This educational activity is designated for a
maximum of 5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. This activity is designated
for a maximum of 4.5 CEU Credits for nurses.
According to the National Institutes of Health, approximately 38 percent
of adults and 12 percent of children in the United States are using some
form of complementary, alternative, or integrative medicine (CAM/IM).
There are few educational opportunities for clinicians and researchers
to learn about major issues in CAM/IM research and very few resources
available to support interest in this growing area of research and
practice.
Integrative medicine combines treatments from conventional medicine and
complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for which there is evidence
of safety and effectiveness. Integrative Medicine at Yale was
established in 2007 to create a forum for interdisciplinary research and
education in complementary, alternative and integrative medicine. This
symposium will showcase recent findings in CAM research and will provide
attendees with evidence-based information about integrative therapies.
Participants who attend this conference will be able to:
* Describe the latest trends in the use of complementary and
integrative therapies in the United States
* Identify methodological challenges in complementary and
integrative medical research
* Distinguish the role of evidence in translating complementary
and integrative medical research into clinical practice
* Describe recent advances in core complementary and integrative
medical research areas
* Assist patients in making informed, evidence-based choices about
commonly used complementary and integrative therapies
* Identify complementary and integrative therapies used by cancer
patients and explore their evidence base
