Students participate in weekly seminars and complete a special project.
Use of the Internet will be required. Clinical Experience - Course participants will have the opportunity to observe complementary care providers at work in their own settings. This will allow students to experience how the theory and philosophy of a particular complementary therapy is applied in practice.

The student will accompany a complementary and alternative provider in the practitioner's own clinical practice.
