Participate in the Motivation for Reiki Study

Are there significant differences in motivations for training, clinical practice characteristics, and well-being between physicians and other practitioners of other healing arts?

This question, posed by Marc Edwards, a family physician who teaches in the Integrative Medicine program at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, has great relevance to Reiki practitioners. We encourage you to participate in his study. A high response rate from our community will ensure impactful results.

Access the survey at: https://unc.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_02EaM4gSGGGNW98

The anonymous online survey takes about 6 minutes to complete. The results of the study could help illuminate issues related to practitioner health, integrative practice, and clinical outcomes. They could potentially advance the prestige and perceived value of complementary and integrative health care practices.

If you have any questions in advance, contact Dr. Edwards at 860.521.8484, marc_edwards@med.unc.edu.
