  A PAAM Training Group Mentoring Program Offering
  This is an opportunity for new learners of anthroposophic medicine to practice a three-fold approach to illness through case discussions.  The meetings will explore how clinical insights and more individualized treatment plans can be developed for conditions such as headache, hypertension, sleep disorders, constipation/IBS, and other common illnesses. Suggestions for follow-up reading or other clinical resources will also be shared.

  These discussions are intended for practitioners who have completed one or two IPMT training weeks, but they are also open to those who are brand new to anthroposophic medicine and are willing to do some preparatory reading ahead of the first meeting.

  Each of the five 90-minute sessions will be a live webinar format, with time for questions and discussion.  Each session will be recorded and made available to participants for later review, or as a back-up if you are unable to participate in one of the sessions.

  The course is limited to practitioners with a license to prescribe medicines (MD, DO, ND, NP, PA), and enrollment will be capped at twenty participants.

  Course moderator: Alicia Landman-Reiner, MD
  Dr. Landman-Reiner practiced Anthroposophic Medicine (AM) as a board-certified family doctor, and founded and directed PAAM’s training programs through 2015. She is a beloved teacher and especially enjoys working with newcomers to AM.

  Dates: Wednesdays, May 15^th, June 5^th, June 26^th, July 17^th, August 7^th.  The group will meet at 3pm EST/noon PST.

  Course fee: $175*

  Participants who successfully complete the course will be awarded 25 mentoring hours (which apply towards the 250-hour mentoring requirement for certification in anthroposophic medicine).

  *Cancellations will be accepted until May 1^st, with tuition refunded, minus a $35 administrative fee. No refunds granted after May 1^st.

  This course will review “best practices”, along with the insights gained from mistletoe research and clinical application in clinics from around the world. Some of the most experienced and knowledgeable allopathic and naturopathic clinicians in the field will introduce participants to decades of experience gained in the best European clinics, and will combine it with an overview of current integrative and naturopathic practices that are synergistic with mistletoe. This practical and comprehensive course covers all aspects of research and application.
  
  An optional online group mentoring component will take place after the live course in June and will consist of three faculty-led 90-minute sessions held via Zoom over the course of nine months (dates and times to be determined). Registration for the optional group mentoring component is an additional $175.00 and should be selected within the online registration form for the live course.

  This course is available to licensed MD’s, DO’s, ND’s, NP’s and PA’s.

  The Maine Association of Naturopathic Doctors (MAND) has approved CEUs for this activity for naturopathic doctors. This applies to people who have an ND license in Maine, or for people practicing in states with reciprocity.

  A two-year series of live video webinars, running September 2019 to late Spring 2021, taught by PAAM Education Director Adam Blanning, MD. Completion of the first year is prerequisite for participation in the second year.

  This webinar course will work through foundational anthroposophic insights into child growth and development through the lens of the constitutional polarities, as presented by Rudolf Steiner.  Topics such as developmental delay, depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, aggressive behaviors, tics, seizures, bed wetting, and autism will be explored.  In-depth methods for clinical observation and constitutional prescribing are practiced through a series of four case write-ups, two per year, using pediatric patients from your own practice.

  Prerequisite training: attendance of at least two years of IPMT meetings (or equivalent training).  It is strongly recommended that participants have also completed a year of clinical mentoring.  Participants are expected to have a working understanding of the 4-fold and 3-fold approaches in anthroposophic medicine coming into the course.  Preparatory reading will largely come from the book Understanding Deeper Developmental Needs, with additional case descriptions and other resources emailed before each session.

  The course is limited to licensed prescribers (MD, DO, PA, NP, and ND graduates of approved four year schools). 

  Important!—In order to do the required case reports you will need to be actively working with children in your clinical practice and/or able to observe children in a classroom setting.  There will be a case write-up required in January and May of each year.

  Schedule:  Each teaching session consists of a ninety-minute webinar, divided between presentation of material and live conversation.  The course will meet on Wednesday afternoons at 3pm EST/2pm CST/1pm MST/12pm PST.

  Sessions are recorded and posted so participants can review the material, or make up a session they are not able to attend. The course is limited to 25 participants.

  Questions: please write to Adam Blanning or Amanda Jacobs at paamdrscourse@anthroposophy.org
