CINIM - World Class Research

 

The Institute addresses the need for rigorous research in complementary and alternative medicine therapies.

The Canadian Institute of Natural and Integrative Medicine (CINIM) is a registered charitable organization that conducts scientific research in complementary/alternative medicine (CAM). Projects are funded through private donations and project grants from public funding organizations.

CINIM is the first Canadian institution to be involved with the United States Consortium of Academic Health Centres for Integrative Medicine. In consort with the Faculties of Medicine and Nursing, the Calgary Health Region, and the Integrative Medicine Institute, CINIM is helping to fulfill the consortium's mission to facilitate the transformation of health care.

CINIM diligently works towards achieving better integrative health care
programs that will impact the health of the population in the future.

CINIM was developed in response to public demand for information about alternative therapies and access to these therapies. Increased use of unproven therapies places the public at risk and escalates the need for rigorous research in complementary and alternative medicine therapies.

Existing research is limited. Conclusions about the effectiveness of these therapies is infrequently available as a result of lack of funding and an inadequate research infrastructure. The development of a collaborative infrastructure will make adequate evaluation of complementary/alternative medicine possible.

CINIM aims to become a world-class research centre in the area of complementary/alternative medicine. Development of a research network that includes both alternative medicine research experts and alternative medicine practitioners will facilitate the rapid production of research outcomes. As a unique research centre indirectly associated with a clinical practice, CINIM provides the ideal setting for initiating and overseeing CAM studies.

CINIM diligently works towards achieving better integrative health care programs that will impact the health of the population in the future.
