Do you work in medicine, nursing or therapy and would like to deepen and apply your knowledge of anthroposophic medicine? Our online course offers you the opportunity to develop a systematic approach through concrete case work (live patient discussions), which leads to a differentiated and comprehensible therapy concept.
