| Session panel presentation ending with open microphone session soliciting scientific, medical and policy feedback from APHA 2003 participants. Panelists include Leanna J. Standish, ND, PhD; Carlo Calabrese, ND, MPH; Pamela Snider, ND; all panelists represent Bastyr University Research Institute. Main focus of panel is to build participation and consensus within APHA in the development of a naturopathic medical research agenda. Input will be considered by the NMRA Work Group and will influence next draft Naturopathic Medical Research Agenda. What are the research priorities for naturopathic medicine for the next decade? What promise does naturopathic medicine hold for public and community health and cost effective healthcare? What research models will be effective in studying the most central questions for naturopathic medicine? What are the core assumptions of naturopathic philosophy that invite scholarly and scientific inquiry? What is the nature of salugenesis and how should it be measured? How should the community determine what does and doesn’t work clinically and why? Answers to such questions will help the Federal government effectively integrate complementary and alternative medicine with conventional and public health services, education and research. Through a grant from NIH’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, accredited naturopathic colleges and medical scientists are creating an agenda to guide the next decade of research for naturopathic medicine. The Naturopathic Medical Research Agenda co-investigators and Work Group members will present a discussion draft of the Agenda. An open mike session will follow where the Research Team invites queries and research priorities from APHA members. | |||
