Maryland. Those interested in CAM research are particularly encouraged 
to attend. Seating is limited.

complementary and alternative healing practices in the context of 
rigorous science, training CAM researchers, and disseminating 
authoritative information to the public and professionals.
    To date, NCCAM's efforts to rigorously study CAM, to train CAM 
researchers, and to communicate with the public and professionals, have 
been guided by NCCAM's previous strategic plans, located on the NCCAM 
Web site at http://nccam.nih.gov/about/plans.
