Education Study
Many cancer patients are interested and already using
complementary therapies such as meditation, yoga,
acupuncture and natural health products, both during and
after treatment. We are recruiting oncology professionals
to:
1.) Examine current knowledge and skills around
complementary therapies
2.) Evaluate whether an online, self-paced education
module is effective at increasing these, as well as
the ability to communicate with patients.
If you are interested in participating or learning more
please contact Dr Greg Levin ([email protected];
