To correlate survey responses to management of specific patient case situations
Detailed Description: Few studies have explored the spiritualreligious beliefs of physicians and almost none have been done outside of the United States until the last two years Therefore this is the first study of its kind to evaluate this subject internationally

In the next few weeks individuals will be receiving an on line survey from Survey Monkey

The purpose of the survey is to explore the spiritualreligious beliefs of oncologists from a world side perspective to identify areas in which spiritualreligious beliefs may affect medical decision making and to explore any correlation that may exist between spiritualreligious beliefs of oncologists and physician burn out

The surveys will take about 30 to 40 minutes to complete Survey results will be encrypted even in transmission and sent to a secure server for anonymity Even if one chooses not to fill out the surveys investigators ask that each person complete the demographic questionnaire

Without input investigators will lose the opportunity to further an understanding of how spirituality and religious beliefs impact patient care and physician well being

Investigators welcome any feed back
