ACBN offers way to accrue class hours toward DACBN

Those with a doctoral degree in a health-related field (DC, DDS, DO, DOM, MD, PhD) can now accrue 300 hours toward qualifying for diplomate status at a range of courses offered through accredited institutions, according to the American Clinical Board of Nutrition (ACBN).

Through cooperation with the Division of Complementary Medicine of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, several classes at the upcoming FCA Winter Convention 2006 and the FCA conventions in 2007 are approved to accrue toward the 300-hour class requirement.

The ACBN has attained full accreditation by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). NCCA is a federally (USA) recognized, national accreditation agency. The ACBN is the first and currently only certifying agency in nutrition beyond the doctorate level to have attained this achievement
