WHAT IS THE MASTER MEDICINE MAKING LAB? This is 24 contact hours of intensive materials for students to have even greater depth of training in certain specialty areas, followed by a live interaction session with instructors, and will cover internal herbal preparations. These are designed for apothecarists that would like to create a product line, specialize in a certain area of herbal preparations, or to set up a home apothecary. The intensive will have advanced materials not covered in the main Internal Medicine 12-week internal course.

In addition, there will be lectures on flavor as a key component in medicine making success, and medicinal ghee preparations.
