Congratulations New
Chinese Medicine Graduates!
In celebration of your hard work thus far, we wanted to offer you something that could help you through the next steps toward licensure and practice, especially with herbs.
NCCAOM Herbal Board Review Class
A class for recent graduates of Chinese medicine schools who are preparing to take their herbal board exams
This class is taught by NCCAOM Board Certified Chinese Medicine Practitioner Travis Kern and is designed as a crash course in the basics of the herbal board exam. This three hour class will highlight major single herbs and their key components as well as giving students insights into various key formulas and how they function. The class is not all-encompassing because of time limitations but it will be an excellent overview of concepts essential to passing your herbal board exam.

COVID-19 Considerations:
We had planned to offer this class in-person with the ability for people to join via Zoom. However, recent changes in the delta variant distribution and overall rising COVID cases means changes in state and county rules regarding indoor gatherings and so we will have to be agile with whether or not we will be able to maintain an in-person presence for the course. Regardless of changes in the health landscape, Zoom will remain a viable option for participation. We will communicate with all registered participants regarding the final format of the course as we approach each of the dates throughout the Fall.
