ELECTIVES
|
TgAAI is offering elective courses so that participants and practitioners can continue to expand their knowledge in Acupressure, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and other Animal Healthcare Modalities.
Participants enrolled in the Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Practitioner Certification Program are required to successfully complete Two Elective Courses for a total of 40 Learning Units. It is not required that these course be taken through Tallgrass.
Participants in the Tallgrass Practitioner Program are welcome to submit letters or certificates of completion in other areas of complementary medicine from other educational programs. Participants who have completed extensive studies in TCM, massage, essential oils, Reiki, kinesiology, TTouch, homeopathy, etc. will receive the 40 Learning Units upon demonstration of successful completion.
Our purpose in requiring electives is to add to participants’ knowledge base. The more you know, the better you can serve animals. Rarely does any single modality stand alone. It is best to have many resources available.

If a Tallgrass participant attends other schools or clinics and wishes to submit the course for consideration as an elective, please submit a description of the course and the number of hours involved in completion along with the document indicating attendance.
