Professionally Relevant Learning
This module forms part of ICTIM’s broader educational offering in herbal and integrative medicine and supports continued learning in culture, health, and traditional medical systems.
The focus of this course is on the holistic approach to patient management, which I feel is the missing piece in Western medicine, having worked as a hospital pharmacist for 20 years. The lecturers are very experienced practitioners, and they integrate biomedicine with the traditional approach well, enhancing what I know already rather than changing from one approach to another. I would highly recommend this course and am looking forward to the new career opportunities it will bring.
