Hi schufly, I'm Feral, from New Orleans. I don't suppose that I'm
allowed to answer the question, since Google is not accepting any more
researchers. Perhaps I can help anyway by making this comment. Your
question is telling in itself, first of all.Of course one must make
assumptions, but that is how hypotheses are born. If you are
researching the bona fides of an organization, I am led to believe
that you are checking them out, to see if they are "on the level". The
phrase "quasi medical education" gives me the impression that from
what you may have heard, and whether or not that information intrigued
you, you are prepared to examine it, probably with an open mind, but
surely with a suspicious eye.
The term "distance education" is difficult to pin down lately, since
at one time that simply meant "correspondence school", but now, with
schools such as the University of Phoenix, you may indeed earn a
respected, regionally accredited degree by way of your computer.
When I consider the phrase "quasi medical education", it leads me to
believe that you certainly do not consider that this group would lead
to a widely accepted medical degree. That brings to mind websites and
other sources where I have come across information on schools that
purport to teach one how to become a "Doctor of Naturopathy" or even a
"Holistic Medicine specialist"
I have also seen schools that supposedly teach one to become a
"philosophical counselor". With my education all I needed was a quick
glance to see that the "program" was less than what one might excpect
from counselor education. However, California is the only state in the
US which does not license psycotherapeutic counselors. This is why Dr.
Laura Schessinger was able to work in private practice psychotherapy
with her Doctorate in Physiology from a university not accredited by
one of the generally accepted regional accreditation bodies (as is
University of Phoenix, even online.
Another idea that comes to mind when one mentions a "medical education
organization" is the idea of some type of association, or fellowshhip
of like minded practitioners or alumni. For example, The Church of
Jesus Christ, Scientist (Christian Science, not Scientology)has within
its organization people who are recognized as some type of healing
practitioner. An association of people in such positions might fall
into this category, especially if the organization offers what it
considers to be continuing education or study. Medical Doctors,mostly
to retain a board certification must clock in a given amount of
continuing medical education hours within a given time period.
Eagle worship sounds distinctly pagan to me, perhaps even Native
American. No such Order comes immediately to mind, however, if I were
permitted to become a researcher, I have little doubt that I could
have an answer for you reasonably quickly.
There is one final item to add: From the tone of your question and the
opening words that you use, I believe I may be correct in my surmise
that you know the name of the "quasi medical organization which
offers distance education"
I would perhaps rephrase the question after this fashion: "I am
checking into the ___________________________Society (or whatever). I
understand that they offer some type of quasi medical education. I am
interested in learning what I can about their history and what they're
all about. I have also learned that in order to join, one must also
join another group calling itself the Order of Religious Eagle
Worshippers. Will someone help me look into the organization and the
"Order", as well?"
Since you know what the name of the education group is, it may help to
name them. I know I would have a much easier time if I were a
researcher attempting to locate the information you seek. Thanks for
letting me put in my two cents.
Peace Always, Feral |
