The ANP Book Club
Introducing The ANP Book Club
A Book Club for Naturopathic Professionals: Elevate Healing Through Reading!
Welcome to the ANP Book Club! A new way to combine CPD with community! This book club will offer the opportunity to deepen your understanding of natural medicine through discussions with peers, exchanging diverse perspectives, and gaining insights to enhance your clinical practice or stay current with the emerging trends.
The ANP Book Club is a collaborative environment to foster professional growth and build a supportive community of like-minded practitioners.
Every six weeks, we will have a virtual book club meeting with breaks over busy holiday periods.
We will be exploring a variety of texts, from ancient herbal traditions to modern naturopathic innovations to inspire new approaches to holistic patient care.
Sessions usually run on a Wednesday evening starting at 7pm and every 4-6 weeks with breaks during holiday periods.

Why a Book Club?
We all love learning and reading is great way to continue the CPD!
Here is why we love reading as one of our favourite forms of learning:
- More Engagement: Sharpen your critical thinking skills by engaging with a book and calming that butterfly mind with concentration on understanding the concepts presented.
- Paced Learning: You can control the pace, take your time to re-read, annotate, and reflect on the content. This flexibility helps solidify knowledge and allows for a more personalized learning experience.
- Enhanced Retention: Studies have shown that reading can lead to better retention of information. The process of decoding text and forming mental images helps embed the material more firmly in memory.
- Access to Diverse Perspectives: Books and articles often provide comprehensive and well-researched content, exposing you to a range of viewpoints and in-depth analysis that may not be covered in the typically time-constrained format of a webinar.
- Skill Development: Regular reading improves cognitive skills such as vocabulary, comprehension, and critical analysis. It also enhances the ability to synthesize information from multiple sources, which is crucial for informed decision-making in practice.
A new way to grow your expertise and make friends with fellow practitioners with our book club!
