2022 North American Homeopathy Educational Leader Survey

2022 North American Homeopathy Educational Leader Survey

Welcome to the 2022 North American Homeopathy Education Leader Survey.  This study was created by a partnership between the HOHM Research and the Foundation for PIHMA (Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture) Research and Education (FPRE).  Its purpose is to better understand homeopathic education in North America.  In addition to this educational leader survey, we are also conducting surveys of homeopathic teachers and students. The results of the study will be made available to you (at your request) at the completion of the study as well as being presented by webinar (invitation will be sent to you at your request).  We anticipate that this survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete.
