Methods, Rationality, and Phenomenology in Medical Research
Join HHRF and Dr. Beverley Kane, MD on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at Noon (ET) as we discuss Western and alternative methodologies for complex multi-component interventions such as equine-assisted learning and therapies
Together we will review criteria for gold standard medical research and introduction of the Harvard Medical School Ba Gua model for tai chi and related studies. Tai chi as a medical intervention has much in common with EAL/P/TR. Dr. Kane will also describe her work in Stanford Medicine and Horsemanship, a course for medical students and healthcare professionals in communication, teamwork, leadership, and self-care; and Stanford Equine-imity—Stress Reduction and Emotional Self-Regulation in the Company of Horses
