This one-day scientific workshop is funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) under Award Number R13AT011146. The goal of this program is to increase both evidence-based knowledge on complementary integrative medicine (CIM) and enhance research diversity among the rehabilitation field by fostering the participation of underrepresented minority (URM) early career scientists. Health scientists and practitioners from diverse backgrounds contribute important clinical practice and research in the field. Although the NIH and the American Medical Association have developed many initiatives to support and ensure greater diversity in the medical and health sciences workforce, significant barriers to having an inclusive, equal, and diverse culture and climate in the biomedical field remain. The CIM field is well positioned to close this gap because it relies on the interdisciplinary representation by many disciplines, practitioners, stakeholders, and consumers.
