Charles B. Wessel, coordinator of Affiliated Hospital Services, will act as an advisor for a McMaster University Evidence Based Research Practice Center systematic review. The systematic review will address "Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in Back Pain Utilization" and is funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Wessel will assist the project librarian in determining the best CAM terminology and resources to include in their literature review.
