Foundations for Clinical Herbalism: Prerequisite Course

PREREQUISITE COURSE

Foundations for Clinical Herbalism

This 15-hour prerequisite course is designed to provide essential knowledge for anyone interested in taking our single online classes or learning our philosophy on building and maintaining health. The course covers a comprehensive introduction to our 5 Realms Model, offering a holistic framework for understanding health. We’ll dive into critical concepts like scope of practice, red flag referrals, and the importance of a strong foundational approach to health that encompasses nutrition, sleep, rest and restoration, movement/exercise, and mental health.

Throughout the course, you’ll have access to recorded audio and video lessons, accompanied by written transcripts for easy reference. There will be self-guided quizzes to help reinforce your learning, with a test on red flags and scope of practice that must be passed before you can sign up for our single classes. While this course includes foundational material, it is not a certificate program, and it does not cover how to use herbs, live classes, assignments, or office hours. It’s a focused, self-paced resource meant to prepare you for more advanced learning in our specialized classes, not for using herbs. If you are interested in this material in an in-depth, hands on format, check out our full foundational program HERE.

Whether you’re aiming to take our single classes or simply want to learn more about our approach to holistic health, this course provides the essential knowledge every clinical-level student should understand. By completing this course, you’ll be ready to dive deeper into our specialized herbal education offerings with a strong foundation that ensures your success and safety in practice.
