2025 Conference

CALL FOR SYMPOSIA AND WORKSHOPS
SAR International Research Conference: April 3-6, 2025 Newport Beach, CA, USA
Cultivating Interconnections of Acupuncture and Traditional East Asian Medicine Research

SYMPOSIA & WORKSHOP SUBMISSIONS
We invite you to submit your ideas for a symposium or workshop, and SAR’s Conference Program Committee will select the most meritorious submission(s) for symposia or workshop during the conference.  General topic categories may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Tuina, TCM, and whole system approaches.  Priority will be given to topics that relate to the 2025 conference theme: Cultivating Interconnections of Acupuncture and Traditional East Asian Medicine Research.

Each presentation idea should include not only a focus on high-quality research, but also address how that research may be useful to practitioners interested in evidence-based practice.

We encourage submissions by individuals from historically under-represented groups (racial and ethnic groups, disabilities, economically disadvantaged backgrounds, etc.).
 
Examples:
  • Interventions (e.g. herbs, acupuncture techniques, etc.)
  • Health conditions (women’s health, aging, etc.)
  • Methods (brain imaging, mixed-methods research, etc.)
  • Relevant areas (teaching research in TCM universities, global dissemination of acupuncture research, etc.)
 
Symposia/Workshop Submission Deadline:  November 4, 2024
