Question:
Are there any apprenticeship programs in alternative medicine?

Looking to enter into the alternative medical field and would like to do an apprenticeship. I don't have experience or a degree in a related field, but thought doing an apprenticeship would be a good way to get into the field. Thoughts on this?

Answer: when you mention alternative medicine the first thing that comes to my mind is herbs. I recommend checking out American Herbal Academy online. Mirah Mc Cain has several courses and her school is the only one that is approved by the US to grant a certification by mail for a course on Nautropathic doctrine, aromatherapy, herbalist, acupuncture, reflexology, flower essence and well...the list goes on and on. This way you can decide if it's the way you want to go without spending alot of money and time freviouly. Best of luck!PS: you can do alot of research online about herbs and etc. so you can start there. Pick a favorite herb, mine is Dandelion and that's pretty much were I got started a long time ago. Besides, the information you learn you will always use and it's easy to remember.
