OCCAM’s Cancer Research Training Award (CRTA) fellows learn about NCI CAM projects and the field of cancer CAM research through activities such as presenting reviews of research articles at journal club, coding grants, and assisting with research for office projects. They attend lectures relevant to CAM, cancer, and other topics of interests at NIH and attend scientific conferences held by non-NIH organizations. OCCAM CRTA fellows conduct literature review projects on cancer-CAM topics of interest and draft a paper on that body of literature for publication to a journal. They also have the opportunity to shadow physicians at the Pain and Palliative Care Clinic at the NIH Clinical Center, which allows them to observe the integration of CAM into clinical practice.
