Overall Diploma Description
The Diploma of Natural Medicine – Year One is the first year of the Diploma in Natural Medicine. This course combines the study of the many natural modalities which can be used to with patients, including botanical medicine, gemmotherapy and oligotherapy, biofeedback and nutrition. The effectiveness of these processes are pure and simple – they help to prevent disease and achieve optimal health.
By completing this diploma you will gain the specialist skills needed to become a Registered Health Practitioner. If you are already one of the 5 regulated and recognized doctors, then you can become a Doctor of Natural Medi-cine.
The student has the opportunity to choose three electives depending on their speciality or focus (one course from Elective A, one course from Elective B, and one course from Elective C.) The online format is very unique to CIHS. The student will be exposed to 2 Virtual Classrooms called Wiley Plus for the Wiley textbook courses and the CIHS Virtual Classroom for the instructional tutorials, tests and exams.

MED101 – Medical Terminology
Quick Medical Terminology, is a self-paced learning approach designed to ease you into the language of medicine that separates the layperson from the professional. The programmed learning format requires active participation through reading, writing, answering questions, labelling, repetition, and providing immediate feedback. This format will help you to correctly decipher new terms by identifying and then practicing different word parts.
BCM101 – Chemistry / Biochemistry
Kenneth Raymond’s General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry offers a concise, manageable, highly effective text with an integrated Table of Contents. The text presents interrelated topics from general, organic, and biochemistry in a highly integrated approach which reduces excess review, and enables students to explore biochemical topics earlier in the course. The result is a briefer, more focused, and more engaging text. Raymond takes a much-applied approach, filled with real-life examples that effectively connect chemistry to future careers in health-related fields. Chapter-opening vignettes focus on the link between chemistry and everyday topics. Online videos and articles from ScienCentral connect the chemistry presented in the text to current events. Purchase of Text from CIHS Includes Wiley Plus Classroom.
