Complementary & Alternate Medicine

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard medical care. 
 
Standard medical care is medicine that is practiced by health professionals who hold an M.D. (medical doctor) or D.O. (doctor of osteopathy) degree. It is also practiced by other health professionals, such as physical therapists, physician assistants, psychologists, and registered nurses. Standard medicine may also be called biomedicine or allopathic, Western, mainstream, orthodox, or regular medicine. Some standard medical care practitioners are also practitioners of CAM.
NCI provides evidence-based PDQ information for many CAM therapies in versions for both the patient and health professional.
