Herbal Program

In my mind, I put a decent amount of weight on how well the schools taught herbs. I know only the CA Exam includes it, but I felt it was very important to the overall understanding of TCM. As a way out for students in programs that don't offer or didn't take their herbal program, I left a N/A category below. All ranks below are from people who were actually in or had taken the herbal program.

		16.		How well does your school teach Herbal Medicine? (If not offered at your school please click N/A for all of the following or leave blank)
