The ATSU-KCOM R25 grant is set to end on June 30, 2015. The program was funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, and was designed to improve the application and generation of essential clinically relevant, research-related information to vulnerable populations through the use of evidence-based medicine concepts. In partnership with ATSU’s Continuing Education, the grant has provided three online faculty development training courses with associated continuing medical education credit at no cost.
