FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What are the Apitherapy Knowledge Review Courses?
Led by a recognized and experienced group as practicing Apitherapists, these
courses are designed for lay Apitherapists, patients of Apitherapy, beekeepers
and medical practitioners interested in this natural medicine from the
beehive.
Why were these courses established?
The mission of the AAS is to gather and disseminate information about the
healing use of products from the beehive. To establish a recognized body of
knowledge about Apitherapy, the AAS has created the Apitherapy Knowledge
Review Courses. With a working standard for ethics and safety, more
individuals can learn the best available information on improving health with
the honeybee.
What are the benefits of these courses?
Besides gaining new insight into the best body of knowledge already in
existence on the potent qualities of hive products, participants will also
acquire hands-on training from practicing Apitherapists. Upon completion of
the courses, graduates will receive a Certificate from the AAS, documenting
that an individual has met certain standards and has been recognized by his or
her peers to have the knowledge and skills necessary for safe and competent
practice of Apitherapy.
Do these courses provide a license for Apitherapy?
The Apitherapy Knowledge Review Courses are provided as an educational service
by the AAS. The Certificate of Completion does not confer a license to
practice medicine, but rather the courses seek to educate and inform.
