It gives me great pleasure to announce that three of Humber’s Massage Therapy research submissions have been accepted as finalists within the 2014 IN CAM-Research Symposium - Case Report Poster Competition:
- The Research Awareness of Registered Massage Therapists in Ontario has been accepted as an oral presentation by Amanda Baskwill and Kelly Dore.

- The use of an informational Video to improve Patient Satisfaction, Preparedness, Mood and Empowerment has been accepted as a poster presentation by Bryn Sumpton and Felicia Bremner.
IN-CAM is a collaborative and interdisciplinary research community in Canada generating knowledge through research on complementary, alternative, and integrative medicine/health care to enhance the health of Canadians.
The 2014 Symposium is particularly special as it marks IN-CAM's 10th anniversary themed around ”The Next Wave of Complementary and Integrative Medicine & Health Care Research”
This is an excellent opportunity to highlight the case reports that play an important role in informing practice and developing the research capacity within the massage therapy profession.
This is also an excellent learning experience for Humber’s Massage Therapy students and faculty to gain direct exposure to an important aspect of their profession, the research component and an opportunity to directly interact with the research community.
The IN CAM-Research Symposium Competition will be held in Calgary in November from the 6th – 8th and the winning research project will be announced at closing on Saturday, November 8, 2014.
Please join me congratulating Amanda Baskwill and her team for their high quality research submissions and wishing them all the best of luck on their presentations.
