This Rapid Reviews webinar is based on contemporary research, evidence, traditional knowledge and the extensive training and experience of naturopathic doctors (NDs) in pharmacology, herbal medicine and clinical nutrition.There is reason to believe that naturopathic approaches warrant consideration among the span of possible aids to the global response to COVID-19. Hence, the naturopathic profession undertook the task of conducting rapid reviews to assess the role of specific recommendations in the prevention or treatment of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) inclusive of, but not limited to, COVID-19. The focus of all rapid reviews was limited to human studies specific to URTIs either as original research or systematic reviews.These rapid reviews demonstrate the naturopathic profession’s dedication to evidence-informed decision making and their commitment to being part of the solution to this global pandemic.Learning Objectives:Provide an overview of the findings from the WNF Rapid Reviews.Discuss how the rapid reviews may impact the role of naturopathic medicine with respect to the management of COVID-19.Describe the role of rapid reviews in research.Discuss the importance of the rapid reviews in discussions with policy makers and governments globally.

For many people, the symptoms of COVID will not end when the pandemic ends.  Long-haul COVID can have devastating effects and for some they could last months or years. In this webinar we will take a deep dive into this emerging epidemic and discuss how you can support your patients on their road to recovery.   Learning Objectives Learn the symptoms of Long HaulIdentifying Who is at Risk Learn how to prevent symptoms and minimize side effectsLearn the causes of Long Haul and The effect of COVID on the immune system, endocrine system and brain healthLearn options for testing, Naturopathic Treatment and Support

Instructor: Dr. Leslie Solomonian, ND, Dr. Laura Batson, NDOriginal Date: November 13th & 27th, 2021This course uses the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study to explore circular systems thinking and core concepts of planetary health. This experiential webinar will explore concepts of decolonization (eg. in healthcare, education, economy, justice, etc.) as a critical approach to the Symbiocene. It will build alignment between principles for planetary health and naturopathic medicine, and highlight roles, methods and models by which naturopathic doctors can engage in promoting health and preventing disease from this framework.This is an applied course; participants should be prepared to actively engage with the material. Core academic concepts and frameworks will be presented and critiqued, then participants will work with the content and co-participants in order to develop skills to collectively propel toward planetary health through the lens of naturopathic practice. Participants will be offered prompts to engage in experiential practices outside of the course time to nurture the embodiment of concepts explored.Learning Objectives: To cultivate an attitude and worldview of circular systems and interconnectedness as it relates to both individual and planetary health and dis-ease (and the reciprocity between the two)To integrate principles from naturopathic philosophy, complex systems theory, and diverse Indigenous traditions to imagine approaches to co-creating a SymbioceneTo build capacity to nurture and advocate (with individuals, at a clinical and community level, and at a planetary level) for health
