Portland, OR – June 20, 2023 – The American College of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS) is proud to highlight how its herbal medicine graduates are leading innovation in herbal medicine to meet the growing demand in the holistic health industry. With the global Herbal Medicine market projected to reach an astonishing $347.50 billion by 2029, according to a Fortune Business Insights report¹, ACHS graduates are well-prepared to lead the advancement of this thriving sector. Notably, two recent graduates of the ACHS Master of Science in Herbal Medicine program, Sian Seligman and Dr. Janet Carter, exemplify this progress. By integrating herbal medicine within the Department of Veterans Affairs and working to expand psychology studies to encompass the emerging science on psilocybin and cannabis for mental health support, these graduates, alongside others, are spearheading the expansion of the herbal medicine industry.
As herbal medicine and nutraceuticals gain rapid prominence in today’s society, ACHS recognizes the importance of aligning educational programs with market trends.
