The  Anatomy & Physiology and Phytochemistry tests have been divided into sections for study purposes. There is one book per course. The CMH program makes you eligible to apply for Board Certification with The American Association of Drugless Practitioners Certification and Accreditation Board.

Requirements include 15 books/manuals, 2 projects, 3 online classes, 1 DVD, and a final exam. Estimated time to complete this program is 24 months. 67 credit hours/1072 study hours.
