As use of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) continues to expand, so does practitioners need to know current risk-benefit data, potential applications, and how to integrate CAMs into clinical practice.

Since these therapies are still outside mainstream medicine, practitioners may not be familiar with the evidence base for these options or may be uncomfortable discussing them with patients or prescribing them. At this conference, presenters will discuss up-to-date scientific information on using CAMs to enhance traditional medical practices in the prevention and treatment of disease.

Special emphasis will be placed on new concepts for disease prevention, separating what works from what doesn’t, to help practitioners understand the value and limitations of these treatments. Conference attendees will leave with enhanced knowledge of CAM use in oncology, cardiovascular disease, and for the general promotion of health and well-being.
