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.
