Course Description
Our popular IVIT Refresher Courses are back! These three, one-day courses are designed for two groups. One, Naturopathic Doctors who are already IVIT-certified and wish to refresh their knowledge and get IVIT CE credits. Second, Naturopathic Doctors who have taken a previous IVIT Certification Course and wish to prepare for the exam. Each refresher course date is one day of the full CONO-approved 5-day IVIT Certification Course, and will ensure that IVIT-certified Naturopathic Doctors have fully refreshed their skills in specific areas, as they relate specifically to the practice of IVIT in Ontario. Each day includes both lecture-style and hands-on components. Check out the content, and pick the date that best suits your ‘refresher’ needs!
