What's New
The Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons is in the midst of revising its guidelines on complementary
and alternative medicine. Consultation on the new
Non-Allopathic (Non-Conventional) Therapies in Medical Practice draft policy closed September 16th. Voting on the policy
will occur Nov 29th. Click to read coverage in the
National Post.
The organizers LEAPS into IM (Leadership and Education Program for Students in Integrative Medicine) recently released
a 6-min promotional You-tube video about the program. Watch video

American Medical Students Association Web site.
In addition to providing feedback about any element of the
CAM in UME Project, you can assist with resource and acquisition.
TLR Submission
We have a wide range of TLRs submitted to our
repository such as PowerPoint slides, student handbooks, instructors notes, and session
outlines. Topics are diverse and include stress, natural health products, physician self care, homeopathy,
cancers, and placebo, to name a few.
If you are involved in teaching CAM-related topics to medical students (or other conventionally trained health care
provider) and wish to share your materials with other educators through our Digital Resource Repository, please
visit our TLR submissions or e-mail us directly.
CAMpod Development
We are always interested in having experts write
CAMpods on specific CAM practices as well as on the use of
CAM for clinical conditions. As all CAMpods uploaded into the Digital Resource Repository have been peer reviewed, we
are also in need of reviewers. If you are interested in volunteering to assist in developing a CAMpod, please contact Rebecca
Brundin-Mather at caminume@ucalgary.ca. |
