Professional development day November 7th, 2010
Under the Auspices of the World Organization of Natural Medicine and its affiliates; Board of Natural Medicine Doctors & Practitioners & Board of Integrative Medicine
You are cordially invited to a fascinating fall 2010 Professional Development day held by the World Organization of Natural Medicine in collaboration with the Board of Natural Medicine Doctors and Practitioner, Natural Medicine Council and the Board of Integrative Medicine, for which you will receive Continuing Education Credits. CEU credits for renewal of membership is 20 hrs for doctors and 10 hours for practitioners annually for certification.
You may be aware of the many changes within the health care professionals’ role in North America. If you practice in British Columbia and Ontario these regulations will be impacting your ability to deliver natural medicine health care services even more in the near future.
There are many questions raised by practitioners to directors on a daily basis which we believe is better for us to provide answers to you in a group setting. This end of the year Professional Day is intended for members to get answers to their questions, learn strategies to improve their practice and for networking. There will be a morning presentation over a four hour period with three presenters. In the afternoon there will be an investiture ceremony for new members and graduates of the Canadian College of Humanitarian Medicine.
