2025 Conference

Abstract submission deadline: December 2, 2024

The SAR 2025 conference will present a platform wherein researchers from various disciplines can share, explore, and develop novel research hypotheses and strategies for Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM). Serving as a crossroads for basic, translational, and clinical research communities, the SAR 2025 conference will enhance the rigorous investigation of acupuncture and TEAM. By moving from mechanisms to clinical efficacy and optimal implementation, we will rigorously explore how these treatments can be appropriately integrated into health care to improve the health and well-being of people suffering from pain or other chronic medical conditions.

Abstract submission

Abstracts are solicited for presentations in the areas of clinical research, basic science and research methodology pertaining to acupuncture and other modalities of East Asian medicine including moxibustion, traditional herbs, Tai Chi, Tui Na (massage), Qi Gong and complex life style modification.

We also welcome abstracts on novel education methods, care innovation/delivery to promote the collaborations between researchers and frontline educators and clinicians. Abstracts will be reviewed by the conference Scientific Review Committee and prospective presenters will be informed by December 20, 2024 as to whether their research has been accepted for oral or poster presentation. 

Select abstracts on mind-body meditative topics will be offered the opportunity for an oral presentation during a symposium organized and chaired by Dr. Peter Wayne, Director of the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, entitled “Tai Chi, Qigong, and Related Mind-Body Meditative Modalities.”

Please upload your abstracts by December 2, 2024 to:  https://softconf.com/p/sar2025
