Gaining experience in a clinical setting with mentorship is paramount to a Herbal Medicine Clinical Student in training.

Hours and hours are spent by Herbalists in training learning about therapeutics, materia medica, pharmacy, phytochemistry, vitalism and so much more. This theory being so essential to the volumes of knowledge needed to sit with clients and be of service as complementary, holistic health care providers in a client centred practice.

Theoretical learning is the basis for what becomes experiential activity. The next step naturally leading to working with people and herbal medicine together, within a professional setting.

Being guided and encouraged by qualified and experienced clinicians brings a solid backbone of a practicum. A mentorship that creates a holistic and well-rounded Herbal Medicine Clinician.
