Job Opening: Director of NCCAM

February 28th, 2007 · No Comments

There is much to be done to understand the safety and efficacy of the myriad of CAM therapies used by Americans each year. The NCCAM Director is the leader of the Nation's primary organization for exploring complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practices in the context of rigorous science, training CAM researchers, and disseminating information to the public and professionals. The incumbent will have the opportunity to build upon a foundation of research that encompasses basic to clinical studies; to attract leading researchers from academic medicine to bring state of the art approaches to studying CAM; and to build a research infrastructure within the CAM community. The incumbent will chart a course for the future of CAM research that will, ultimately, facilitate the integration of proven CAM approaches with conventional health care.
