2022 INCAM Research Symposium

WELCOME!

Over the last 18 years, the Symposium has become the premier research meeting in Canada on complementary and integrative health care. It brings together a diverse group of individuals from across disciplines, capturing a range of research expertise and research interests. It has been described as an idea lab - it creates an environment that enables a high level of interaction and quality discussion to address challenging questions and innovative ways to explore these questions.

Our theme for this year's exciting event is Reconnecting Resilient Communities: Integrating Health Research and Promoting Wellness.

This virtual research meeting is co-hosted by the Centre for Integrative Medicine and the Department of Community Health & Epidemiology of the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada in collaboration with the INCAM Research Network.

ABOUT INCAM

INCAM (a Chapter of the International Society for Traditional, Complementary, & Integrative Medicine Research (ISCMR)) is a collaborative and interdisciplinary research community in Canada generating knowledge through research about traditional, complementary, alternative, and integrative forms of medicine (TCAIM), whole-person healing, and whole systems healthcare to enhance the health of Canadians. This includes the development and dissemination of new knowledge regarding therapeutic and lifestyle or mind-body approaches to health, as well as medical systems and biological, manipulative, and body-based methods and therapies.

Since its launch in 2004, INCAM has been instrumental in defining a TCAIM research community in Canada. Today, INCAM is the place to go for researchers, educators, and practitioners who are interested in research that aims to address challenging questions in innovative ways in this emerging area of practice and research.

We come with respect for this land that we are on today, and for the people who have and do reside here. We offer our gratitude to the First Nations for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings.
