Welcome & Opening of Symposium

Isabelle Gaboury and Kieran Cooley

Hélène Langevin, MD Stretching, Connective Tissue, Inflammation and Cancer Director, Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School

Dr. Langevin received an MD degree from McGill University, completed a post doctoral

research fellowship in Neurochemistry at the MRC Neurochemical Pharmacology Unit in

Cambridge, England, residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Endocrinology and

Metabolism at Johns Hopkins Hospital. She is a Professor in Residence of Medicine and

Director of the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Harvard Medical School and

Brigham and Women's Hospital, and also a Visiting Professor of Neurological Sciences at the

University of Vermont College of Medicine. Dr. Langevin has been selected as the next

Director of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, beginning

November 2018.

Dr. Langevin has been the Principal Investigator of several NIH-funded studies investigating

the role of connective tissue in low back pain and the mechanisms of acupuncture, manual

and movement-based therapies. Her previous studies in humans and animal models have

shown that mechanical tissue stimulation during both tissue stretch and acupuncture causes

dynamic cellular responses in connective tissue. Her current work focuses on the effects of

stretching on inflammation resolution mechanisms within connective tissue, and their

relevance to chronic musculoskeletal pain and cancer.

Medical cannabis in Canada: Implications for integrative health care

Workshop Facilitators:

Lynda G. Balneaves

Workshop Objectives:

Workshop attendees will engage in the following:

1. Develop understanding of the current regulations and policies in Canada related to medical and non-

medical cannabis.

2. Review the current evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis and its role in

integrative health care.

3. Discuss and identify research priorities and challenges for medical cannabis in the context of integrative

health care.

Intended Audiences:

Integrative health care practitioners and researchers

Workshop Description:

This workshop will combine didactic lectures with small and large group discussion to explore the current

regulatory environment surrounding medical and non-medical cannabis, the current evidence regarding the

efficacy and safety of medical cannabis across diverse health conditions, and identify priorities and

challenges to conducting medical cannabis research. The lectures and group discussions will focus on the

role of medical cannabis within integrative health care, drawing on the field's expertise related to natural

health products and experience of being positioned by some as a stigmatized form of health care. Workshop

lectures will cover the following topics: 1) Current regulations of medical cannabis in Canada; 2) Impending

legalization of non-medical cannabis in Canada; 3) Latest evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of

medical cannabis; and 4) Potential role of the integrative health care practitioners related to medical and

non-medical cannabis. Small group discussions will be held with participants regarding the practice

opportunities presented by cannabis as well as related research priorities. Barriers to cannabis research and

practice and potentials solutions will also be identified among the small groups. The workshop will conclude

with a large group discussion identifying the top practice and research priorities related to cannabis.

Anticipated Outcomes:

From this workshop, participants will become more informed regarding the current regulatory context

surrounding cannabis in Canada and identify potential practice and research opportunities presented by

medical cannabis. Research priorities relevant to integrative health care will be identified, as will strategies to

overcome challenges to conducting medical cannabis research in Canada. It is hoped this workshop will

increase awareness among the integrative health care community in Canada about the potential

opportunities and challenges posed by cannabis and to increase capacity within this field.

Increasing chances to have your abstract accepted for national and

international scientific symposium and events: A practical workshop


Chantal Morin, Nathalie Trottier


At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

* dentify essential elements of a scientific abstract

* Describe essential criteria for an abstract to be accepted for national and international symposium and

events

* Write high quality abstract from research results

Intended Audience:

Osteopaths, osteopathic students, osteopathic research teachers and other symposium participants with an

interest for the scientific abstract writing skills.


An important number of abstracts is submitted in various health related congresses each year. How can we

produce high quality abstracts that stand out? What are the key components that the reviewer is expecting?

Even if a study is very interesting and well done, abstracts that are not well structured and incomplete are

often refused. Since abstract is the only written available description of a research to participants in a

conference, writing high quality scientific abstracts can significantly increase the chances of being accepted

into national and international conferences. Unfortunately, many clinician-scientists had no or few training or

experience with scientific abstracts writing.

The creation of a workshop to foster those writing skills was one of the activities request by participants of the

Osteopathy-SIG 2016 workshop and the subsequent need assessment online survey. This workshop thus aims

to inform participants of the essential elements to be included in a high quality scientific abstract. Examples

of abstracts will be discuss and improve with suggestions from the group and the facilitators. A practical

session is also planned to allow participants to practice writing a scientific abstract and to received

constructive feedback about their specific research abstract. This workshop may lead to the creation of a

mentorship program for the SIG members.


This workshop may help members to review more critically their abstract before submission to national or

international congresses. It may also create some collaboration or networking opportunities. Finally, we thing

that the experience of this workshop might help us to develop a mentorship program for the Osteopathy SIG

members in 2019 (a priority also identified in the need assessment online survey results).

Fostering fairness in TCAIM research dialogue: Struggles and strategies


Nadine Ijaz, John Weeks, Antony Porcino

Workshop Objectives

* To clarify the distinctions between advocating for traditional, complementary, alternative and integrative

medicine (TCAIM) and advocating for balanced respect for the state of TCAIM science.

* To empower those working in the TCAIM field to more pro-actively and effectively respond to ongoing

attacks on this area of research

* To share experiences and perspectives as to the strengths and challenges associated with particular

strategic responses

* To foster the formation of collaborative response networks between those working in diverse TCAIM areas

• Intended Audience

Researchers, practitioners, educators, and policy advocates working in the field of traditional,

complementary, alternative and integrative medicine

Workshop Description

Across the globe, the science supporting traditional, complementary, alternative and integrative medicine

(TCAIM) and the work of TCAIM researchers are frequently and sometimes ruthlessly attacked. The scientific

community’s silence—even from other scientific supporters and researchers—effectively condones the

attacks. One outcome is that TCAIM policy discussions that shape access to TCAIM services are frequently

informed more by bias than by evidence. For example, the UK National Institute for Health and Care

Excellence (‘NICE’) held acupuncture to a different standard, effectively excluding it from treatment

guidelines for backpain and osteoarthritis. The US government’s National Center for Complementary and

Integrative Health (NIH NCCIH) regularly hears calls to end funding of its “quackademic medicine”. Here in

Canada, TCAIM research positions, projects, and institutions have been threatened and publicly derided with

seeming impunity. At times, entire fields or professions are subject to actions based on assertions that they

have no scientific basis, even as evidence increasingly emerges. Usually these attacks on the science go

unanswered. Who is supposed to respond?

This workshop aims to help address this gap: by empowering those working in the TCAIM field take positions

for respectful science and craft appropriate strategies to respond pro-actively and productively to attacks on

this area of research. Structured as an interactive session framed by short presentations from TCAIM

researchers, practitioners, and policy advocates (names to be confirmed), participants will have a chance to

discuss their experiences, concerns, and strategies related to the workshop theme.

Anticipated Outcomes

By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify key resources needed for a quick, effective

response. They will know the key features and language needed to shape the dialogue, and ways of

responding so that defensible TCAIM research viewpoints are heard. Finally, we hope to establish the

groundwork needed for collaborative networks to aid timely response to future attacks on TCAIM.

Workshop 3

René-Lévesque A

Effective communication and messaging strategies for CAM in an age of

attention deficit, media transformation, and universal scepticism

Workshop Facilitators;

Anne Leis, Michael Epstein, Dugald Seely, Lynda Balneaves


* The workshop is intended to explore strategies for effective communication and message formulation

pertaining to complementary and integrative medicine within conventional and social media.

* Through a combination of discussion, reflection, and experiential methods involving participatory

educational theatre, participants will have the opportunity to learn and apply some of the basic principles of

effective communication in a variety of media contexts.

Intended Audience:

This workshop will focus on developing effective strategies to communicate complementary/integrative

medicine information within popular media, including social media as well as more traditional media sources.

As such the workshop will be of interest to a diverse audience of complementary and integrative

professionals who would like to explore ways to become media content creators. It may also appeal to

researchers and others eager to increase the quality and quantity of media stories to represent the growing

evidence base for the safe and effective use of an integrative approach to health and wellness.


This workshop will focus on developing effective strategies to communicate complementary and integrative

medicine information within social media as well as traditional media sources. In partial response to negative

media portrayals of complementary and integrative medicine, we will advocate for people working in this

field to either become media content creators or otherwise influence the production of media content. Our

intention is to promote media coverage that provides a balanced, informative, and accurate representation

of the growing evidence base for the safe and effective use of an integrative approach to health and

wellness.


The workshop will follow the educational theatre format. The presenters will enact a series of skits, each

focused on a different workshop goal, for example understanding the relationship between traditional and

social media, ways that participants can develop their own media content, or means to facilitate

collaborative relationships with traditional journalists. Facilitated discussions will help reinforce key learning

concepts and allow participants the opportunity to role-play and identify opportunities for applying these

concepts in their professional work. Throughout the workshop, we will use current examples to highlight

common issues within popular media representations of complementary and integrative medicine, and

promote thinking about innovative ways to address those issues in future communication.
