Message From The Director

I am now 4 months into this exciting and challenging new job as Director of NCCAM. In this short period, I have been given an excellent orientation to all areas of responsibility of the Center, guided by our terrific staff. I have also had the opportunity to speak with many CAM investigators, practitioners, and thought leaders, and some of our critics as well. I am learning a great deal from these various communities and perspectives. Clinicians have given me a sense of the promise that they see in the CAM approaches to health and wellness. Scientists have discussed the many challenges and knowledge gaps in conducting CAM research as well as the opportunities that are emerging from new research methods. NCCAM staff members have shared with me their expertise and experience in the complexities of oversight of our highly varied research portfolio. And CAM advocates who closely follow our progress have shared their perspective and hopes for NCCAM as well.
