The Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM) was established in 1991 within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to explore unconventional medical practices. It underwent several name changes and reorganizations, eventually becoming the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). The OAM's early years were marked by both scientific inquiry and controversy, particularly regarding its funding and the perceived influence of political patrons.
