Herbs, Nutraceuticals and Supplements for Advance Practice Nursing I

This didactic course will introduce students to the scientific, regulatory and practice issues related to herbs, nutraceuticals and supplements (HNS). The use of HNS is typically a self-initiated process rather than practitioner initiated, presenting unique challenges in terms of safety and regulatory issues to both consumers and practitioners.  This course will provide students with the foundation to communicate and to advise patients in a culturally sensitive manner, on the appropriate use of HNS.
