  "text": "---\ntitle: \"The Profession Question\"\nnumber: 17\nstatement: \"What should a charitologist be trained in, and does training change where money goes?\"\nprogress: \"A curriculum, and evidence comparing the decisions of trained and untrained advisors or donors on the same choices.\"\nconditions: [\"missing-profession\"]\nstatus: open\nbounty: \"Unfunded. The Question Bounties program will attach prizes once it is funded.\"\n---\n\n## Why it matters\n\nCharitology’s founding claim is that a profession would improve where money goes, as medicine improved how illness is treated. That claim can be tested, so it should be. See [the Missing Profession](/diagnosis/missing-profession/).\n\n## Where to start\n\nThe [Principles of Charitology](/record/principles/) textbook and the [Certified Charitologist](/programs/certified-charitologist/) program are draft curricula. A randomized study of a short training course is a feasible first test.\n",
