Dr. Nathan Fisher
2022 Fellow
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Psychiatry at McGill University
Nathan Fisher, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Psychiatry at McGill University. He completed his doctorate in religious studies with a concentration in cognitive science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. From 2012-2015 he managed the ‘Varieties of Contemplative Experience’ (VCE) project at the Clinical and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory at Brown University, which documented the range of meditation experiences reported in western Buddhist traditions. He then replicated the study in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions at UCSB. His current research at McGill investigates changes in self-related processes in mindfulness-based interventions, the variety of experiences in Asian and Abrahamic contemplative traditions, ecosocial systems approaches to contemplative studies, and bridging social determinants of health research to psychedelic clinical science.

Evaluation of a Reiki Volunteer Program within Two Cancer Infusion Centers
Context
Reiki is a biofield therapy from Japan currently used in many US hospitals. Evidence supports Reiki's effectiveness for addressing cancer and treatment-related symptoms such as pain and anxiety. However, no study to date has assessed changes in nausea following Reiki received during infusion treatments or assessed patients from multiple healthcare locations.
Objectives
To evaluate a Reiki program for outpatients with cancer and other chronic illnesses receiving infusion treatments (e.g., chemotherapy) at two University Hospitals infusion centers.
Methods
