The Basics: The Anatomy & Physiology Course
Offered without additional fees and not taken into account in the number of study hours, this fundamental course is geared specially towards students that don't have enough scientific knowledge about the human body. It is a prerequisite for longer curricula. You can take it at your own pace, in tandem with your other courses.
To learn more about this course...
All our professional curricula (Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Bioenergetics or Holistic Nutrition - see our Programs) include case studies that allow the student to apply the knowledge gained to the real-life and sensitive human terrain. Acting as a course summary, these case studies put theory to the test. They place the student in a real professional setting by doing consultations, as well as follow-ups, with patients. They are equivalent to a sort of internship during which you would benefit of the support of your tutor.
Doctorate Programs and Thesis Paper
The College offers continuing education to health practitioners, with its Doctorate Programs, specializing in Naturopathy,
Homeopathy
or Oriental
Medicine. In addition to the case studies, this curriculum is like practical coaching for the active practitioner especially with the reference courses Client-Practitioner

Furthermore, the thesis paper allows a more in-depth analysis of a favorite topic, which may determine a professional path. The research required the student to reflect, to conceptualize and also to apply. The thesis paper acts as a veritable theoretical and practical summary of the course, allowing the student to express his/her affinities and approach.
