2022 Top Five Courses in the ABMP Education Center

Top 5 Courses in ABMP Education Center

This was another exciting year for continuing education at ABMP! We provided two online ABMP CE Summit events—free for everyone in the profession—focused on fascia and lymph and added new CE courses to the ABMP Education Center on aromatherapy, anatomy/pathology, business, ethics, self-care, teaching, and techniques.

“ABMP strongly believes in the value of continuing education and it’s an honor to provide events and courses for practitioners to enhance their professional and personal skills,” says Kristin Coverly, ABMP’s director of professional education. “Learners earned more than 145,000 hours of CE in the ABMP Education Center in 2022. It’s exciting to think of the ripple effect that knowledge will have on their practices, clients, and the profession.”
