The Charles Mraz Apitherapy Course

As part of the mission of the American Apitherapy Society, the Charles Mraz Apitherapy Course was created to further establish a recognized body of knowledge about apitherapy. With a working standard of ethics and safety, more people can learn the necessary information on improving their health with products from the beehive.

Participants in CMAC will receive hands-on training from a group of
informed and experienced apitherapists. The CMAC curriculum is designed to lead participants through the basics of apitherapy to an understanding of its indications, protocols for safety, and techniques.

Presentations on the fundamentals of apitherapy will offer introductory
information for our new participants and a refresher for returning students.

Reports on recent scientific studies, domestic and international clinical
projects and accounts from medical practitioners will reveal the latest
developments in apitherapy.

This advanced material will be presented for first-time and returning
participants.

For those wishing to receive the CMAC Certificate of Knowledge, a test will be administered at the end of the course. The certificate will be awarded to those students who demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of the presented material.

All participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance.

Please Note: The multi-level curriculum (Level I, Level II) utilized
until now by CMAC organizers has been replaced with a conference-type
format.

Learning is open-ended and ongoing at CMAC, where participants may return every year to learn the newest, most advanced information available on apitherapy.
