Certification in Veterinary Chinese Herbal Medicine
(for more information go to www.civtedu.org)
While this course has a basis of Classical Chinese medical theory, it is as very much based on practical experience in veterinary practice as well as scientific evidence where it is available. Dr Steve Marsden takes the mysterious world of Chinese medicine, puts it into his “Cooking Pot” metaphor and churns out a very palatable, easy to digest understanding of the principles and practices of Chinese medicine. This is a key strength of the course- it aims to provide a pragmatic approach to the practice of veterinary Chinese herbal medicine so that practice is straightforward and easy to implement.
Your time is valuable. You want some short cuts and reliable formulas that work for you. You also want to carry a range of formulas that you know very well, rather than a vast dispensary with literally hundreds of formulas that you might not know so well. The course aims to keep it simple! You will at the end of the course be able to confidently prescribe and integrate Chinese herbal medicine in your busy practice!
The course has evolved since it began in 2008. The prices are correct until the end of 2010 on the prospectus and the full price of the Certification course is US$3950.00. In 2011 the course tuition fee will be US$4950.00 if paid in full at time of enrollment.
