摘要
马里兰大学医学院的补充医学中心成立于1991年,是美国在西医学院成立的第一个以研究中医药为主的综合性补充和替代医学中心.从1995年起连续被美国国家健康研究院评为全国中医研究的杰出中心,研究主要集中在评估中医药、针灸和身心疗法如气功、冥想疗法的安全性、有效性及作用机制.补充医学中心作为马里兰大学的交叉学科中心,主要承担了科研、临床、文献和教育4个方面的工作,彼此促进,已形成一个充满凝聚力的团队.中心近年来还增加了针灸和中医药研究在国际间的交流合作,特别与中国的香港中文大学、上海中医药大学和其他中医药大学进行了合作.
Abstract
The Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland was founded in 1991 and was the first center dedicated to evaluating complementary and alternative medicine at a US medical school. The center has been a National Institutes of Health center of excellence since 1995 focused on evaluating the efficacy, safety and mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and mind-body modalities including Qigong and mindfulness meditation. The Center functions as an interdisciplinary center in the university and is composed of four main areas-research, patient care, informatics, and education-that mutually enhance each other and create a cohesive unit. The Center has recently increased its international collaboration on acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine research, particularly with universities in China such as Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and other TCM universities.
