The 7th Annual Complementary and Integrative Therapies Expo and Lecture Series will take place Monday, March 30, at UMass Medical School in the Albert Sherman Center Multi-Purpose Room and Auditorium from 3 to 7 p.m.
The only event of its kind hosted by a Massachusetts medical school will feature demonstrations, displays and mini-lectures. Visitors will have the opportunity to speak with local practitioners and receive treatments at no charge to personally experience therapies that are becoming increasingly integrated into modern medicine.
Scheduled mini-lecture include Debunking Myths About Dietary Supplements; Introduction to Ayurveda; How to Use Essential Oils to Improve Well-Being; Effects of Combining Complementary Therapies During Massage Treatment for Cancer Patients; and Acupuncture for Pain Management.
Hosted by the Student Complementary and Integrative Medicine Elective, Integrative Health Academic Interest Group, and the Department of Psychiatry at UMMS, the expo and lecture series are free and open to the public.
