The ETCMA wishes to see appropriate scientific research into the safety, validity, usefulness, and efficacy of TCM therapies: research that respects the integrity of TCM and helps gain its wider recognition and acceptance throughout Europe.
We aim to strengthen international academic exchange and assist academic collaboration with European colleges, universities and other institutions involved in research.
The ETCMA also works to bring research outcomes into a clinical practice.
As an umbrella networking organisation, with a direct contact to thousands of practitioners in Europe we provide guidelines and education around understanding of research results and encourage our members to incorporate findings into their clinical decision making.
