Event Type : Congrès

The Annual Symposium is an educational meeting for health care professionals interested in, or already practicing acupuncture. Medical practitioners with no experience as well as those with extensive backgrounds in acupuncture will find the program useful to their medical practices.

The purpose of the Symposium is to keep AAMA Members and interested health care professionals abreast of the current status of the study of acupuncture and acupuncture research. To accomplish its purpose, the Symposium offers a program of continuing education designed to explore the mechanisms and applications of acupuncture from diverse perspectives. This meeting addresses topics specifically suggested by practitioners and expands on many different approaches for addressing practical clinical problems. An emphasis on evidence-based, scientific research is integrated with classical and modern protocols for the serious clinician. Surveys and evaluations from previous symposia have indicated that there is a strong desire for information about acupuncture techniques that honor the rich history of Asian medicine, while applying this to contemporary Western medical practice.  This symposium explores just that, while providing the preeminent opportunity for networking among medical professionals working in this rich and expanding field.

This symposium will present multi-faceted approaches for understanding, appreciating, and applying acupuncture in today’s practice. It will expand awareness of the scientific research into the effects of acupuncture, while enhancing understandings of classical wisdom.  It will help clinicians apply the medicine both towards direct patient care, and in overcoming care delivery challenges.

SAR’s 2023 International Research Conference is scheduled for June 8-11, 2023 (NY, NY, USA – in person event)

The 2023 Society for Acupuncture Research (SAR) International Conference, “From Mechanism to Patient-Centered Care: Research in Acupuncture and Traditional East Asian Medicine,” is an exceptional platform to present the state of the science of basic, translational, and clinical research in acupuncture and Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM). Over 100 million individuals in the United States are afflicted with chronic pain and conventional treatments such as opioid medications have failed many patients. Acupuncture is an integrative health intervention that has an emerging biological basis and growing clinical evidence for management of chronic pain.

As we make progress in acupuncture and TEAM science, this conference will facilitate discussion of new research methods and findings and inform future directions of TEAM research. Additionally, it will promote the timely and equitable dissemination and implementation of emerging evidence in
diverse clinical settings. The conference will be held May 18-21, 2023, in New York City. The event will be co-sponsored by the Integrative Medicine Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and the Harvard Medical School Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, two academic leaders in integrative medicine research, education, and clinical practice.

The SAR 2023 conference will highlight four symposia: 1) Anatomical basis of acupuncture: Understanding the physiological basis of needling; 2) Translational acupuncture research: Bridging basic mechanisms with clinical practice; 3) Cycle of clinical acupuncture research in oncology: From efficacy trials to implementation science; and 4) Addressing health disparities: Acupuncture for sickle cell disease pain.
