'''Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)''' is a common phrase to describe a group of medical approaches that are (partially) outside [[Mainstream medicine|mainstream]], [[conventional medicine]] and are named [[Complementary medicine|complementary]] or [[alternative medicine]]. In recent years, several definitions of CAM have been suggested. In 2012 The [[CAMbrella]] project defined CAM (in Europe) as follows:<ref>{{Cite|title=CAM 2020; The contribution of Complementary Medicine to sustainable healthcare in Europe|publisher=[[EUROCAM]]}}</ref><blockquote>CAM, as utilised by European citizens, represents a variety of different [[Wikipedia:Medical system|medical systems]] and therapies based on the knowledge, skills and practices derived from theories, philosophies and experiences used to maintain and improve [[Wikipedia:health|health]], as well as to [[Wikipedia:Prevention|prevent]], [[Wikipedia:diagnose|diagnose]], relieve or treat [[Wikipedia:Physical illness|physical]] and [[Wikipedia:Mental illness|mental illnesses]]. CAM therapies are mainly used outside conventional health care, but in many countries some therapies are being adopted or adapted by conventional healthcare.<ref>{{Cite journal|first=T|last=Falkenberg|title=Towards a Pan-European Definition of Complementary and Alternative Medicine – a Realistic Ambition?|journal=[[Forsch Komplementmed]]|date=2012|volume=19(suppl 2)|pages=6-8|doi=10.1159/000343812}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|first=K|last=Von Ammon|date=2012|title=Final Report of CAMbrella Work Package 5|chapter=Health technology Assessment (HTA) and a map of CAM provision in the EU.|url=https://phaidra.univie.ac.at/detail_object/o:300096}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|title=CAMbrella Final Report; Work package 1: Terminology and definitions of CAM methods|url=https://www.itcim.org/terminology-and-definitions-of-cam-methods|access-date=8 October 2021|website=INSTITUTE FOR TCIM/CAM}}</ref></blockquote>Somewhat later than the concept CAM the phrase [[integrative medicine]] was used more often. Combining integrative medicine with complementary medicine leads to the abbreviation [[Wikipedia:CIM|CIM]] (complementary and integrative medicine).
