Buckman staff OCCAM's booth at the
Society for Integrative Oncology
3rd International Conference.

One major task of OCCAM's Communication and Outreach Program (COP) is the promotion of NCI's CAM activities and research opportunities to cancer researchers and CAM practitioners. OCCAM uses many channels in order to accomplish this task, but one such way is by exhibiting at the annual meetings and scientific conferences of organizations and societies associated with the field of cancer and CAM. By doing this, OCCAM has the chance to meet and get to know members of our primary audiences, hear feedback directly from them about our programs and resources, answer questions, and distribute publications and other materials.

OCCAM would like to invite you to stop by the NCI booth at the Oncology Nursing Society Annual Congress taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 24-27, 2007 and the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, June 1-5, 2007. OCCAM will have an exhibit booth at the American College for the Advancement of Medicine Spring Conference in Chicago, Illinois, May 11-13, 2007; American Association of Naturopathic Physicians in Palm Springs, California, August 22-25, 2007; and the Society for Integrative Oncology Fourth International Conference in San Francisco, California, November 15-17, 2007.
