The ACHS Reporter

Volume 15 / Issue 4  April 2012

Spring is a great time to take inventory of the goals you set for yourself back in January. For example, are you making progress with your health goals? Or, do you need to revise your goals to better match your current schedule and priorities?

Perhaps your 2012 goals are more focused on professional development, such as continuing education or expanding your professional network? If so, we can help!

ACHS offers several continuing education courses in herbalism, aromatherapy, and health approved for massage therapists, registered nurses, pharmacists, naturopaths, and veterinarians. Our Admissions team can provide you with all the details. Just call (800) 487-8839 or email admissions@achs.edu.

We also want to let you know about a great opportunity offered by the Mederi Foundation in Ashland, Oregon. If you're interested in learning more about Eclectic Triphasic Medical System, Mederi offers several intensive trainings throughout the year. They also offer several webinars for those who can't attend in person. You can learn more here.

Enjoy this month's edition of The Reporter below. If you have any comments or ides for future articles, please share. You can post comments and ideas to ACHS Facebook here or email them to communications@achs.edu.

Best regards ~
