Participants may register for 1, 2, or all 3 modules. The course will consist of small-group teaching with hands-on practical work at computer stations, as well as group work. Participants will be selected based on the order in which their applications are received, their involvement or interest in clinical research in CAM, and a review of professional qualifications.
This not-for-profit, academic course is being taught by researchers who have extensive experience in both teaching research methodology and conducting research studies. The course is held in cooperation with the University of Maryland Center for Integrative Medicine and the International Society for Complementary Medicine Research, a worldwide not-for-profit professional association devoted to fostering cooperative and multidisciplinary research and development in the field of CAM.
