The Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital has engaged a partnership with JACM, The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine to highlight the best new research in the mushrooming field of mind-body medicine. Most recently (June 2017), the Osher team explored recent mind-body research for veterans. The three selected studies range from a focus on the impact on telomere length, to a group-based clinical intervention, to an app developed to help veterans heal relationships with their partners as they return to their homes.
In each quarterly column, the Osher Center's Director of Research Peter Wayne, PhD, Gloria Yeh, MD, MPH, Research Fellowship Director, and Darshan Mehta, MD, MPH, the center's Director of Education work with JACM Editor-in-Chief John Weeks to select a theme. The three researchers, all JACM Associate Editors, will each select one study from the literature to abstract and comment upon. Each will be available free on the JACM website until September 21, 2017.
Each column is organized around a theme with upcoming topics in areas such as women's health, environment/nature, and social justice.
JACM is a monthly peer-reviewed journal published online with open access options and in print. Led by John Weeks, the Co-Founder and past Executive Director of the Academic Collaborative for Integrative Health, JACM publishes controlled trials, observational studies, scientific reviews and leading commentary intended to help medical organisations and governmental organisations optimise the use of integrative products, practices, and practitioners in patient care and in delivery and payment strategies.
