Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)
CAM is defined as a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices and products that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine. Like conventional medicine (also known as ‘western’ or ‘allopathic medicine’) CAM is practiced by MDs (medical doctors) and DOs (doctors of osteopathy), as well as allied health providers such as chiropractic physicians, acupuncturists, and psychologists.

There are no absolute boundaries between CAM and conventional medicine, and CAM practices are utilized by approximately 38% of Americans.
CAM practices include the following categories (some useful links are also provided):
