Perception Medicine Foundaton,Executive Director/CEO Jobs in Canada

a non-profit dedicated to
broadening our scientific and practical understanding of how the human
mind directly influences the genesis, advancement, regression, and
remission of disease.

Building on the deep work of the fields of mind-body medicine,
psychoneuroimmunology, epigenetics, meditation research, positive
psychology, and other credible, innovative fields of study, we work
with leading researchers to identify, develop, execute, fund, discuss,
and collaborate on projects that deepen our scientific understanding
of the connection between what goes on in our heads with what goes on
in the physical systems of the body. PMF is assembling a team of the
world’s leading thinkers, researchers, and clinicians to guide the
Foundation’s work.

Our Vision is to help build a new model of medicine where the power of
the mind is both central and critical to the healing process; where
drugs are not considered the most powerful means for addressing
illness; and where our understanding of illness and what it takes to
heal has experienced a revolution in perception.

Our Projects

Our efforts are focused on three key areas:
• Convening thought leaders in diverse fields to shape and evolve the
conversation of what constitutes “perception medicine” and its
underlying model of healing.
• Funding and collaborating on cutting-edge research projects that
study the mechanisms involved with the mind-body healing response and
push the boundaries of existing knowledge.
• Creating a user-friendly archive of research that updates and builds
on existing databases of spontaneous and “radical” remission cases and
a directory of studies that address the mind-body healing dynamic.

protocols.
