Clinical Herbal Medicine Program Description
The Master of Science in Herbal Production Design will promote whole person, relationship-centered healthcare. Through discovery and exploration, we deliver progressive educational programs, advance innovative clinical models, built mutually beneficial partnerships, and provide opportunities for fulfilling careers. <br> <br>The proposed program is designed to prepare students to apply the principles, practices and concepts in herbal medicine to the development and implementation of clinical strategies and real-world solutions. Students integrate scientific evidence with tradition and practical herbal experiences for integration into the contemporary healthcare environment. <br> <br>The program is designed for clinicians and practitioners that wish to diversity and expand their modalities of care through the application of herbal medicine, and for individuals that wish to become a clinical herbalist as a stand-alone profession. <br> <br>Graduates not only help frame the healthcare options in the U.S. and abroad, but also are instrumental in encouraging people to switch to more natural lifestyle choices that improve their overall health and wellness.
