This is the Decade of Integration for the Samueli Center, which was established in 2000.  Since then we have achieved a great many milestones, including a robust research program, focusing on both mechanistic and clinical studies on Oriental Medicine and supplements as well as a number of other important areas. An active educational component involves practitioners, students and the public.  Our integrative medicine clinic on Birch Street that now offers a range of therapies from family medicine to acupuncture to herbal supplements to dietary counseling, life style modification, therapeutic massage and physical therapy.  All of this translates into increased activity and interest in the center. Very soon, on November 13^th, we will celebrate this decade of growth and achievement and, most importantly, will be honoring our founder, Susan Samueli, for all of her support, encouragement and attention to the well being of the center.  This event, to take place at the Santa Ana Country Club, will be an opportunity for the center to share its achievements and honor our board, the leadership at UCI and many individuals in the community whose contributions have contributed to the center's success.  In addition, we are also planning our fourth international scientific conference, to be held on October 7-9^th at the Beckman Center for the National Academy of Sciences.  It will bring scientists and clinicians from around the world to talk about the latest research advances in Oriental Medicine, discussing both acupuncture and Oriental herbals.  Presentations will include both basic science and clinical advances that have been occurring over the last several years.  The clinical importance of these therapies and the mechanisms by which they can be used in disease treatment will be highlighted.  Please visit our website and come celebrate the success of the center with us next month.
