Begun in 2019, the Practitioner Trainings in European Mistletoe & Integrative Oncology Best Practices have continued to develop and evolve into what is now a robust program of courses and yearly group mentoring.
In 2025 we are excited to be in-person again for a deep dive into practical strategies for supporting and treating the "whole" patient. Our training is unique in that our diverse faculty explores the biochemical and metabolic basis of treatments, as well as the psychological and spiritual dimensions of medicine. Participants will learn about advanced administration of viscum album mistletoe integrated with anthroposophic, naturopathic and metabolic medicine. We strive to honor, appreciate and better understand the self-determining potential of each human being for their own healing.
Previous course participants often reflect on how this training has improved their capacity for diagnosis and innovative treatment of their patients, as well as how it has improved their own health and perspective of self-care. Don't miss this amazing opportunity!
Also new in 2025 - a special pre-conference:
How Anthroposophic Medicine Can Enliven Your Imagination, Inspiration and Intuition as a Doctor
8am to 5pm on Feb 19th, at the Emory Conference Center Hotel
See the schedule and topics here (remains subject to change).
Space for the in-person course is limited so register early. Once all spots are filled, a waiting list will be created. The course will not be livestreamed or recorded. Priority will be given to licensed medical practitioners who are currently treating human patients. If you are a nurse interested in the training, you must apply to attend alongside the practitioner you work with. If you are a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, please write to us at connect@anthroposophicmedicine.org to inquire about availability of training in mistletoe therapy.
This course is designed for Medical Doctors (MD), Osteopathic Doctors (DO), Naturopathic Doctors from an accredited Naturopathic college (ND), Nurse Practitioners (NP) and Physician Assistants (PA). The course requires a prior training of at least 1000 hours of biomedical classes (including anatomy, physiology, pathology, diagnostics and therapy), as well as current state licensure to prescribe medicines.
Tuition and meals are included in the price of registration. Participants are responsible for their own transportation and lodging. A special rate of $195 per night (plus taxes, single-occupancy) is available onsite at Emory Conference Center Hotel and a link will be provided in the confirmation email you will receive upon registering.
Newcomers are welcome, but this is an advanced course and familiarity with the fundamentals of VAE are pre-requisite. Some of the introductory prescribing talks are available as recordings so you can master the basics and get the most out of the advanced course. The advanced course will not spend much time on basic prescribing issues, but faculty will, of course, be available for questions and fill-in-the-blanks. If you haven't taken the Fundamental Best Practices of Mistletoe Therapy and Integrative Oncology offered by PAAM, you can purchase the recordings of the most recent online course (February 2024) for $700 when you register for the in-person course.
Financial assistance may be available to practitioners in need. Please write to connect@anthroposophicmedicine.org, detailing circumstances and need for further consideration.
