Milestone in Australian naturopathic education: Southern School of Natural Therapies celebrates 60 years

Abstract

Blending traditional knowledge with science resulted in an expanded curriculum including naturopathic philosophy, nutritional and botanic clinical medicine across the lifespan, pathology and diagnostics, biochemistry, homoeopathy, chiropractic, osteopathy, jurisprudence and sociology. The course underwent a major update in 2020 to align the course structure and to incorporate an innovative work integrated learning program. A hallmark of being an SSNT alumni is not just achieving the highest standard of formal education, but also being supported by a strong network of colleagues, many of whom have gone on to become leaders in the health sector in Australia and around the world.
