Paramount College of Natural Medicine (PCNM) is a private college based in Perth, Western Australia. The College delivers accredited courses for study in naturopathy, homoeopathy, western herbal medicine and massage, at the College’s Malaga Campus.
The College was formed in 2003 by Gilliane Burford after she completed her diploma in Natural Medicine in Western Australia and running a practice and natural health product distributorship, Paramount Health. Accreditation was sought with the Training Accreditation Council for Paramount College to deliver selected qualifications from the nationally endorsed Health Training Package HLT02. This Training Package was released in December 2001 and Paramount College of Natural Medicine was first accredited in December 2002.
In 2005, the first of the PCNM’s students graduated with Advanced Diplomas in Naturopathy, the first students in Western Australia to graduate while completing all their studies under the new Training Package.
In February 2007, the Training Package HLT02 was replaced by HTL07, which strengthens the qualifications available in the field of natural medicine. Paramount College completed its re-accreditation to the new health training package in December 2007 and was providing qualifications in accordance with the new training package in 2008.
Famous quotes containing the words paramount, college, natural and/or medicine:
“There are many faculties in man, each of which takes its turn of activity, and that faculty which is paramount in any period and exerts itself through the strongest nation, determines the civility of that age: and each age thinks its own the perfection of reason.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Give me a country where it is the most natural thing in the world for a government that does not understand you to let you alone.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Good medicine is bitter, but it cures illness.”
—Chinese proverb.
Confucius.
