Office of Alternative Medicine Goes Online

By Editorial Staff
The National Institutes of Health's Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM) was created in 1991 to identify and evaluate alternative health care practices, via research, training, and disseminating information. Now, after six years of operation, the OAM has recently launched its own website.

The OAM's website is divided into seven separate categories, each providing different information on the office's functions. Users can learn about the history and mission of the OAM; consult a frequently asked questions list; find out about grant information; search the OAM's information clearinghouse; and read back issues of the office's quarterly newsletters and press releases.

The OAM's website also has links to the Department of Health and Human Services, and an e-mail address for users who'd like to contact the OAM's director. The site even has a built-in search engine and a site index to aid those who are looking for specific information.

The OAM's website can be accessed at http://altmed.od.nih.gov/oam.


Dynamic Chiropractic editorial staff members research, investigate and write articles for the publication on an ongoing basis. To contact the Editorial Department or submit an article of your own for consideration, email .
