AOM Database Initiative Herbkersman, Lincoln, Baker, Tarmonia

 
The AAAOM Herbal Medicine Committee (HMC) will be discussing the AOM Practitioner Database initiative that is designed to track herb usage and Adverse Event Reporting. This project, if established, will provide the AOM profession with empirical safety data needed to support FDA herbal regulation as well as all existing and future state and federal AOM legislative proposals. The database will also offer unprecedented research and educational opportunities for the entire profession. In order to establish the database initiative, wide scale participation by AOM practitioners, vendors, schools and organizations will be required. The panel moderators are Claudette Baker and Michael Taromina.
