Advancing Traditional, Complementary & Integrative Health Research Together

Canada's national interdisciplinary network connecting researchers, educators, practitioners, students and policymakers.

About INCAM

The Canadian Interdisciplinary Network for Complementary & Alternative Medicine Research (INCAM) is Canada's national interdisciplinary network advancing research in traditional, complementary, and integrative healthcare.

Since 2004, we've connected researchers, educators, practitioners, students, and policymakers to strengthen evidence-informed healthcare through collaboration, education, and knowledge exchange.

Our Core Principles

RESEARCH-INFORMED

Research-informed traditional, complementary, integrative, and alternative medicine practices are critical for appropriate and safe integration into the healthcare system.

DIVERSE VIEWPOINTS

Embodying diverse viewpoints is critical. The body of knowledge pertaining to health and healthcare needs to be informed by a range of perspectives, expertise, and insights.

RELEVANT METHODS

The realm of integrative healthcare research necessitates the implementation of accepted and relevant research methods. The advancement of methodologies is essential within integrative healthcare research endeavours.
