EDCAM Grant Pilot School Curriculum Resource Materials
After using these modules, we ask you to complete a short online survey to provide feedback and suggestions. Your participation is greatly appreciated.

The following curriculum resource materials were developed and reviewed by the AMSA Foundation's EDCAM Grant Team and Advisory Panel along with expert consultants in the field of CAM and medical education. This work was made possible by funding from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a division of the National Institute of Health (NIH).

Extensive resources have been gathered for each of the courses below and have been provided to assist faculty and students in planning and implementing CAM curriculum at their respective medical institutions.

The compilation of EDCAM resources is an expanding work-in-progress. As the field of complementary and alternative medicine evolves and changes with time, EDCAM's research team and advisors will update the resource bank to provide students and faculty with the most accurate and current CAM information possible.

It's our goal to provide you the latest links and updates to CAM research activities, electives, references and educational tools; everything you would need to pursue your interest in complementary medicine. To achieve this goal, we welcome all suggestions and additions to the EDCAM resource library from students and faculty.
