Foundations of Phytotherapy:
Clinical Applications of Herbal Therapy Class

The class solicits and receives favorable feedback from
other graduate students and employers of our graduates. Some examples of this feedback includes:

“ Upon recent completion of Drexel's inaugural Foundations
of Phytotherapy course, I would most enthusiastically recommend this course for all healthcare professionals. ...
This is a course that is stimulating, and encourages you to seek out more information for personal and professional benefit. Even our assigned research paper was to be on a topic of personal interest to us, and it proved to be research that we could apply in both our daily lives and in our clinical practices. Enrich your life by taking this course!...
Our instructor, Professor Ross, possesses a wealth of knowledge in this field, and facilitated information sharing between the students taking this on-line course. The text and power point slides with the instructor's commentary
were wonderful learning aids. ”
Deborah Farrington,RN, BSN Clinical Scientist

Foundations in Clinical Aromatherapy

“Excellent course. I would definitely recommend if not require all nursing students, especially graduate students, to take Aromatherapy. It is not only extremely applicable to patient health, but also to individual health. I am a better nurse and healthier person for taking this class.

“The instructor was very passionate, knowledgeable and dynamic about the course and reflected on the students to perform at an optimal level and interact with each other more freely/openly. She walked the walk and talked the talk... The instructor was very relaxed and easy to communicate with.
The interventions using EO were enlightening and made the teaching method more than lecture and writing papers--there was an at home clinical lab component. The Professor first and foremost, and the classmates- superb group. I found the subject matter intriguing and challenging to my limited (prior to the course, hopefully) knowledge.
Student , MSN Program

Learning about aromatherapy on a whole. I also liked how interactive it is with other students and being able to learn from them as well as the professor.
