Health Concerns Symposium 2015: Tools for Your Practice
We're excited to announce our annual Health Concerns Symposium for 2015, an integrative and educational experience for practitioners, students, and partners in the holistic, herbal and alternative medicine community. The conference is scheduled for Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13. Speakers will present on subjects including acupuncture, herbal medicine, Oriental nutritional therapy, men's and women's health, pain, digestive health and more. The Symposium is designed to foster learning, exploration and peer-to-peer networking. Attendees will also receive continuing education credits from NCCAOM and the California Board of Acupuncture and Board of Registered Nursing (these credits are currently pending).
This year's Symposium will be held at Hotel Shattuck Plaza in downtown Berkeley. A special group rate has been negotiated for our attendees. Check back here for more information coming soon. Space is limited and is offered on a first come, first served basis, so register early to reserve your spot! Hotel Shattuck Plaza is located at 2086 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA 94704.
