THE USE OF MEDICAL INTUITION IN HEALTHCARE: a Survey by the National Organization for MEdical Intuition
Maria T. Gentile, DO, CMIP; Tiffany Barsotti, PhD; Wendie Colter, MCWC, CMIP (2022)
The use of Medical Intuition has been recorded in clinical healthcare for more than two centuries, yet little is known about the practices and training of medical intuitives, or the use of Medical Intuition in healthcare. Although acknowledgement of Medical Intuition exists within the medical community (2005, Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the United States, IOM), scientific research on the skill is sparse, with only a handful of studies published over several decades. However, anecdotal accounts of medical intuitives working in clinical healthcare settings are common knowledge among professional medical intuitives.
The National Organization for Medical Intuition created a survey to gather information on the training, practices and uses of Medical Intuition, and sent it to over 300 self-identified professional medical intuitives in the United States. The results found:
82% of medical intuitives surveyed assist licensed healthcare professionals with Medical Intuition services for their patients and clients.
86% report receiving referrals from licensed medical professionals for Medical Intuition services.
30% identified themselves as licensed healthcare providers.

Medical Intuition: A Qualitative Exploration of the Subjective Experience of Practitioners
Tracy L.W. Poff, PhD (2024)
Medical intuition practitioners purport to identify physical and nonphysical factors that contribute to an individual’s health condition, knowing nothing other than the person’s name. Using individual, semi-structured interviews, this qualitative study explored the experience of 15 self-identified medical intuitives.
Findings suggest that the nonlinear epistemic nature of medical intuition is additive and complementary to approaches used by conventional healthcare providers and that, together, a more complete picture of an individual’s health may be observed. Results of the study point to multiple areas for future research, as well as suggestions regarding methods of testing intuitive accuracy.

ASSESSING THE ACCURACY OF MEDICAL INTUITION
JOURNAL OF Integrative AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE (JICM)
Wendie Colter, MCWC, CMIP; Paul Mills, PHD (2020)
This exploratory study examined subjective accuracy and rates of acceptance of trained medical intuitives. Findings included a 94% accuracy rate of the Medical Intuitive’s ability to locate and evaluate the participant’s primary physical issue; 100% accuracy to locate a secondary physical issue (86% of participants responding); 98% accuracy in describing the participant’s life events, and 93% accuracy in describing a connection between the life events and health issues. Additionally, 94% (of 49% of the participants who responded to this question) indicated ‘‘Agree/Strongly Agree’’ that the medical intuitive was consistent with a known medical diagnosis.

INTUITIVE ASSESSMENTS: AN OVERVIEW
Daniel J. Benor, MD (2001)
Intuitives, including healers, are often able to obtain psychic impressions about people upon whom they focus their attention. These impressions may include information about the states of the subject’s body, emotions, mind, relationships and spiritual dimensions. Research on intuitive assessments is limited.
The development of intuitive awareness has far broader implications and applications beyond medical intuition. The process of knowing the world intuitively opens into an awareness of oneness with all creation, into realms that we have labeled as spiritual and mystical. This mode of knowing may be of enormous value in addressing some of the global crises challenging the continuation of our very existence on this planet.
