Strong emphasis will be placed on case management including: understanding how to choose forms and brands of botanicals; when and how to make formula adjustments over time; concurrent use of botanicals and pharmaceuticals, weaning on and off botanicals, helping patients’ keep up with therapies and other topics of interest to those wishing to excel in practicing botanical medicine.
