Image Education

Natural Standard provides live, print and on-line educational materials, many of which are accredited Continuing Education (CE/CME) modules based on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) evidence-based informational reviews. These modules cover issues of safety, interactions, and efficacy of integrative therapies. Further modules for multiple healthcare disciplines will soon be available on this site. We also invite international students to participate in our academic rotations- either in Cambridge, MA or through virtual/distance learning courses. For more information, or to collaborate on programs please contact questions@naturalstandard.com.
