Audience

At our international conference on naturopathic research, we expect attendees from Switzerland, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and from a wide range of backgrounds, who share a common interest in the scientific exploration and advancement of naturopathic medicine : naturopathic practitioners, researchers and teachers ; other health professionals such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and psychologists ; industry professionals ; advocates and policymakers.

Context

Despite the history and size of the naturopathic profession in Europe and Switzerland, very little research studies and publications come from Europe, and none from Switzerland (1).

Our professionalizing naturopathic center is located in the heart of the Swiss Health Valley and the Biopole campus in Lausanne, making it an ideal location for innovative research. Furthermore, Switzerland has been at the forefront of the integration of alternative medicine into its healthcare system. It is one of the few European region countries where the naturopathic workforce is regulated and where national naturopathic educational programs meet the highest standards (2).

At cAH, we leverage the vertuous three-fold combination of education, research and clinical practice to develop and promote the naturopathic profession, so that alternative, traditional and complementary medicines reach their full potential as an integral part healthcare system, side-by-side with conventional medicine, bringing many benefits for patients and society as a whole.

Our vision is for a future where naturopathic medicine is not only widely accepted, but also fully integrated into mainstream healthcare practices. Research capacity building is the key to making that vision a reality. And as a sponsor, you can significantly accelerate this evolution.

Please note that our research remains fully independent, with neither commercial bias nor conflict of interest. This means that our research findings are based solely on the data and evidence, without any external influences that could compromise the validity of our research. By ensuring that our research is conducted solely for the purpose of advancing the field of naturopathic medicine and improving patient outcomes, without any hidden agendas or ulterior motives, we can maintain the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity. This is essential for building trust with patients, healthcare professionals, and the wider scientific community, and for ensuring that our research has a positive impact on the field of healthcare.
