The American Herbalists Guild paused Registered Herbalist applications in 2024 to rework the application and review process. AHG reports that the process is on track to reopen this fall. This one-hour session is the live update on where things stand and what applicants need to have ready.
Patricia Kyritsi Howell, who coordinates the Admissions Review Advisory Committee, will cover the revised application criteria, the changes made to the application process, and what prospective applicants can do now to prepare. The session ends with a live Q&A.
The RH (AHG) credential is the main peer-reviewed standard for clinical herbalists in the United States. If you have been waiting for the application portal to reopen, or you are still deciding whether to apply, this is the session to catch. Details on the current criteria, the Part 1 and Part 2 application structure, and the status updates AHG has posted so far are on the Becoming a Registered Herbalist page linked below.
