ECH & IAVH HOMEOPATHIC SYMPOSIUM Homeopathy in the 21st century Integrating Homeopathy
in Human, Dental and Veterinary Medical Practice
15th November 2018 – Hilton Hotel, Sofia
Research Workshop
Clinical Research in Human and Veterinary Homeopathy
How to get things started? Do’s and Don’ts!
Specially tailored to those who are new to research in homeopathy!
This workshop aims to inform new researchers on how to get their projects started and to raise awareness of common pitfalls in homeopathy research that can lead to studies having less impact upon publication than anticipated. Two main pitfalls deserve particular attention: poor study design and incomplete reporting. The day consists of a half day of presentation by experience researchers followed by a three-hour long workshop for questions, answers and to discuss proposals from the participants.
Presentations – 30min – 9:00 – 12:30
Robbert van Haselen – ‘What is critical thinking, and why do you need it to assess and improve your own practice’?
Christien Klein/Robbert van Haselen – ‘Why do we need practitioner involvement in research, esp.in case reporting, and how can this help safeguarding the future growth of homeopathy’? Liesbeth Ellinger – ‘Why is research, esp. RCT in veterinary homeopathy important for the recognition of homeopathy as a whole’?
Christien Klein – Starting clinical research, practical aspects.
