Professional Accreditation

It is anticipated that as Plant Medicine evolves and the numbers of Plant Doctors grow, state licensing examinations will be developed to promote the professionalism of the discipline. Until that time, Plant Doctors may elect to seek certification through crop consulting and/or other professional scientific organizations.
