Studying at the NSW School of Natural Medicine was one of the best choices I have ever made. The course was practical and their teachings drew upon a good balance of ancient experiential knowledge and the latest scientific research. The good number of clinic hours we completed was a fundamental part of preparing us for dealing with real cases in our own clinics. My teachers were all practitioners, rather than academics, and were very knowledgeable with years of clinical experience behind them. Smaller class sizes meant a more intimate teaching style, and lecturers were able to pay more attention to the individual student. Our study environment was on beautifully serene acreage, which really helped maintain our wellbeing in such a mentally demanding time. I especially enjoyed our lessons in the herb garden, where we were able to grow and cultivate commonly used herbs, which we later used in our herbal manufacturing classes to produce fluid extracts. When seeking employment, I found that my studies with the NSW School of Natural Medicine were highly regarded & in the 6 years I have been a Naturopath, I have never made an unsuccessful job application. Now I have a fun and rewarding job, working for Healthworld, the makers of Metagenics, which is Australia's leading practitioner range in natural medicine, and I couldn't be happier!
