I would highly recommend this course for anyone with an interest in a holistic approach to medicine. The course is well structured with a focus on practical applications. As a medical research scientist by trade, I chose this course in particular owing to two factors:
- The material is often backed by research verified information and
- The lecturers are practitioners with real life experience
The course itself is provided in a flexible online learning approach which works perfectly for me.
