The Holistic Care Nursing Conference: Foundation to Herbalism

Wednesday, May 15, 2024, 7:30 AM - 3:30 PM, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Auditorium G, Lebanon , NH

ANCC Nursing Contact Hours (6.00 hours), General Attendance (6.00 hours)

The history of herbal medicine in the United States is a unique one. Traditional Western Herbalism has its roots in European, indigenous, and classical practices, and over time, has also come to co-exist with more well-known medicine cultures such as Chinese medicine and Ayurveda. In this course, we will utilize lecture-based learning as well as small group casework, hands-on experiences, and audience participation to learn the basics of the Western apothecary and how it can be used in practical, safe, and effective ways in a wide variety of patient interactions.

Are you "scent sensitive?" Attendance is not advised, as experiential activities are planned throughout the day.
