Online learning & educational resources

Anthroposophic Medicine is supported by a growing collection of online educational resources—from live webinars and self-paced on-demand courses to books and recorded lectures. While these resources are offered through several organizations rather than a single platform, PAAM can help you find the learning opportunities that best match your interests and stage of practice.

Whether you are exploring Anthroposophic Medicine for the first time or looking to deepen your clinical knowledge, the resources below provide multiple ways to continue learning.

Clinical Prescribing Webinar Series

The Tria Principia in Clinical Practice

This six-part clinical prescribing series explores common conditions through a threefold understanding of the human being, expressed physiologically through the Nerve-Sense, Rhythmic, and Metabolic systems, and medicinally through the Tria Principia.

Each 90-minute webinar begins with a concise overview of the condition and its conventional clinical picture, then develops an anthroposophic perspective through a threefold lens.

Faculty will use case examples, descriptions of key remedies, and practical prescribing guidelines to demonstrate how this understanding informs individualized treatment.

Each session concludes with case-based discussion, allowing participants to work together with questions of diagnosis, remedy selection, and therapeutic approach.

All webinars are on Thursdays, 5:30–7:00 pm Pacific / 8:30–10:00 pm Eastern

Claiming Wholeness in Medicine

Designed for physicians, healthcare professionals, and medical students experiencing burnout, Claiming Wholeness in Medicine explores practical ways to restore meaning, resilience, and wholeness in medical practice through an anthroposophic perspective.

An Introduction to Anthroposophic Medicine

4-part video series

PART ONE

  • Move beyond fragmented care. Learn why diagnoses, lab values, and imaging tell only part of the patient's story—and how a broader perspective can deepen clinical care.

  • Develop a new clinical lens. Explore how observing patterns, rhythms, and change over time can reveal insights that static measurements cannot.

  • Connect modern medicine with timeless healing principles. Discover how Anthroposophic Medicine integrates medical science with observations found across many healing traditions.

  • Build a foundation for everything that follows. This introductory session prepares you to understand the Fourfold Human Being and the clinical concepts that shape Anthroposophic Medicine.

PART TWO

  • Learn the Fourfold Human Being. Discover the four dimensions of the human being—physical, etheric, astral, and "I"—and why they provide a richer picture of health and disease.

  • Recognize patterns in clinical practice. See how different illnesses can be understood through imbalances in these four levels.

  • Bridge modern medicine and lived experience. Learn how the Fourfold framework complements conventional diagnosis while helping explain phenomena that often escape purely reductionist models.

  • Build a foundation for therapeutic thinking. Develop the conceptual framework that underlies anthroposophic assessment, prescribing, and long-term patient care.

PART THREE

  • Apply the Fourfold Human Being in clinical practice. Learn how this framework helps organize symptoms into meaningful patterns rather than isolated findings.

  • See beyond disease labels. Discover how Anthroposophic Medicine looks for the underlying dynamics of health and illness to individualize care.

  • Connect observation with therapeutics. Explore how a deeper understanding of the human being informs treatment decisions and supports the body's healing processes.

  • Bring greater coherence to patient care. Learn how Anthroposophic Medicine integrates anatomy, physiology, biography, and individuality into one practical clinical approach.

PART FOUR

  • Recognize constitutional patterns. Learn how different expressions of illness reflect underlying imbalances in the human organism—not simply disease categories.

  • Think beyond diagnosis. Discover how Anthroposophic Medicine complements conventional diagnosis by asking why this patient developed this illness in this particular way.

  • Individualize therapeutic thinking. See how constitutional understanding guides treatment decisions and helps tailor care to the individual rather than the diagnosis.

  • Strengthen your clinical observation. Develop a more integrated approach that connects symptoms, physiology, biography, and the patient's overall pattern of health.

The Foundation for Health Creation

Public webinars for patients

The Foundation for Health Creation offers public webinars that bring anthroposophic principles into everyday life. Led by physicians and experienced educators, these programs explore topics including:

  • Nutrition

  • Wellness

  • Homecare for common illnesses

  • Child development

  • Holistic education

  • Emotional resilience

  • Biodynamic agriculture

  • Social health

While designed primarily for the general public, including patients, parents and school teachers, many healthcare professionals find these programs valuable for understanding health promotion and disease prevention.
