Hello. Thank you for your interest in our hypnosis for cancer pain (HCaP) training program! The program includes two primary components:
1 - A training program (E-Learning + Workshop):
to teach a multidisciplinary group of cancer care providers to deliver hypnosis to help patients manage cancer pain.
2 - Program evaluation:
to research the effectiveness of the training program.
You are eligible to apply if you are:
1) licensed, license-eligible, or certified in a healthcare profession, or if you demonstrate current enrollment in an accredited cancer care training program
2) have access to a laptop, tablet, or smartphone to access the E-Learning website
3) currently or plan to (e.g., upon graduation) deliver clinical care to individuals with cancer
4) willing to participate in a post E-Learning workshop (either live in NYC or online)
5) interested in the course and are willing to use the hypnosis for cancer pain management skills you learn in your clinical practice
6) are proficient in English
7) are at least 18 years of age
Please note, the cost of developing and running the training program is covered by the National Cancer Institute award which funds the course, so participation in the HCaP is free of charge (i.e., there are no registration or participation fees). In addition, we will offer continuing education credits for participation (for more information on continuing education credits, please see the course website).
NOTE: When this project was designed, the intention was for the E-Learning component to be followed by a Live Workshop in New York City. However, given the pandemic, we're evaluating next steps and will be guided by trainee input and public health guidelines. We'll keep you updated as we make decisions about workshop format.
If you are interested in enrolling in the training program, please:
a) Read and review our research information sheet (see PDF link below) to learn more about the study and about your role as a participant.
b) If you agree to participate, please respond 'yes' to the question below.
c) Fill out a brief, online application and eligibility survey. Once we review your responses and confirm your eligibility, we'll get back to you as soon as possible to get you started!
If you have any questions about any of this information, please contact our team at
staff@ hypnosisforcancerpain.com .
Once again, thank you for your interest. We look forward to receiving your online application.
Best regards,
Guy H. Montgomery, PhD
