It has always been known that in medicine and healing the real learning comes by doing, hence the residency programs of doctors and the preceptorship of naturopaths. However, for those wishing to specialize in botanical and nutritional medicine as primary therapies, and the true integration of wholistic medicine or “healthy medicine” with conventional medicine, there has been a lack of experts with which to train. There simply are not enough clinicians specializing in this form of healing while more and more patients are presenting increasingly complicated and often advanced states of disease combined with a myriad of negative drug interactions.
Now, two of North America’s most highly respected practitioners join together to offer a learning experience like no other, one that will change the way you practice and enable you to achieve consistent long-term results. This program is designed for qualified health care professionals interested in learning and applying Donnie Yance’s proprietary model of healthcare, the Eclectic Triphasic medical system (ETms). If you are an oncologist or physician, a nurse, nurse practitioner, naturopath or other health professional, and you wish to acquire key tools and meaningful insights critical to your success with patients, this program is essential to extending your knowledge into the vast research on botanicals and nutrition, dietary supplementation, multi-layer formulating and protocol development, and more, all within the framework of this health paradigm. You will learn more in a week of clinical practicum than years of reading books and attending lectures!
