Abstract
Purpose Patient oriented clinical research, particularly randomized clinical trials, is a complex field. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) educational institutions typically place less emphasis on research than what is typically seen in conventional university settings; consequently CAM practitioners are less prepared to pursue careers in clinical research than their conventional medical counterparts. The purpose of this presentation is to present a unique “bridge” fellowship that prepares CAM practitioners to pursue careers in CAM clinical research.
