his is a 2-part symposium where NCCIH R13 Fellows present their research. This symposium aims to increase both evidence-based knowledge on complementary integrative medicine (CIM) and the inclusion of junior-level scientists of underrepresented minority (URM) backgrounds in the workforce of this field. Encouraging and featuring early career URM scientists and current K-awardees to present their work on the science of CIM will spur continued interest within these promising scientists and will in turn increase the number of URM in CIM workforce and increase knowledge of CIM as evidence-based.

Learning Objectives:

Disseminate evidence-based information on CIM and thereby advance the knowledge of scientific methods of CIM in the rehabilitation medicine field
Enhance the diversity of the scientific workforce in CIM with the inclusion of junior-level scholars from URM backgrounds
Engage and establish interdisciplinary collaborations and partnerships in research and clinical practice by providing networking opportunities, interaction and engagement,
