Complimentary Medicine

Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) on PubMed is a new subset of PubMed, a free system offered by the National Laboratory of Medicine (NLM) which provides an easy way to access over 11 million citations and abstracts in the MEDLINE database and additional life science journals. MEDLINE currently covers nearly 4,500 journals published in the United States and more than 70 other countries. PubMed also provides links to over 1,700 journals for full text of articles and provides links to citations of relevant MEDLINE articles. Some publishers may require a subscription or fee.


“This joint venture will offer health professionals, and consumers, ready access to a comprehensive database of journal citations directly related to complementary and alternative medicine,” said Donald A.B. Lindberg, M.D., NLM Director. “Through
CAM on PubMed, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) are providing a highly visible, easily identifiable portal to the evolving field of Complementary and Alternative Medicine(CA M) research publications.”
