For Healthcare Professionals

Practice the Medicine You’ve Always Believed Was Possible

Learn & Practice in Community

When I started developing Mederi Care over four decades ago, I was often practicing in isolation, pioneering approaches that others didn’t understand or accept. I know how challenging it can be to practice medicine with vision and integrity in systems that don’t always support either.

I also know what it feels like to second-guess clinical decisions without peer support. To wish you had colleagues who understood what you’re trying to accomplish. To feel the weight of knowing there’s a better way to help your patients, but not having the mentorship or community to fully realize it.

This community exists so you don’t have to carry that alone.

Our practitioner community serves healthcare professionals from diverse backgrounds: medical doctors, naturopathic physicians, acupuncturists, clinical herbalists, nutritionists, nurses, and other licensed practitioners.

You might be:

Working with cancer patients and wanting more effective, evidence-based integrative protocols
Frustrated with the limitations of conventional medicine for complex chronic conditions
Seeking approaches that honor both rigorous science and traditional healing wisdom
Interested in root cause medicine rather than symptom management
Wanting to integrate the spiritual dimensions of healing without compromising professional credibility
Needing colleagues who truly understand this level of practice

Curious how this approach works in practice?

If you entered healthcare to help people heal deeply—not just manage symptoms—and if you’ve been searching for training that’s both scientifically rigorous and spiritually grounded, you may have found what you’ve been seeking.

What Practitioners Are Saying

“I have not found anyone like you who works in complementary care who is willing to work things both ways as it were and who has been so helpful to patients.”

“Before I met you, I had some idea about working with cancer, but really didn't know how much I could do to improve outcomes and quality of life. You have given me a model that is completely workable with cancer, one that allows me to work with people at their comfort level, and one that really affects outcomes. Learning from you has changed the way I practice, and the way I see things clinically. Thank you for giving me the tools and confidence to be able to really help these folks.”

“The opportunity to study under you has transformed my life. It has been so empowering to both myself and the patients to understand cancer and our immune systems – hope and hunger for knowledge is sparked. Thank you for sharing so freely the knowledge and wisdom that has taken decades of intense study to obtain.”

“After seven years in naturopathic and Chinese medical school, I can honestly say I never encountered such a coherent, thoughtful, and heartfelt approach to healing as Mederi Care. The ETMS paradigm represents both the future and the best of medicine—deeply grounded in physiology, rich with effective tools, and infused with spirit. It has transformed my practice and the results I see with patients every day.”

“No provider, especially in the field of oncology, should even consider treating people with cancer without this Clinical Training course. It opens up a whole new world that so many people can benefit from. The expertise of the teachers in this course is overwhelming.”

“We were totally blown away with the amount of love, energy and team work which was put in to making it such a comprehensive, meaningful and focused program. We have returned to our practice here in Durham with renewed inspiration, knowledge and enthusiasm to devote to helping all our patients. You have given us a most beautiful combination of tools to work with.”

“The teachings, ongoing support and networking opportunities of the Mederi Academy have vastly transformed my holistic nutrition practice. The teachings are incredibly thorough and methodical and have cemented a true understanding of the intricacies and complexities of an integrative cancer care approach that enable me to offer nutrition and lifestyle coaching personalized to each of my clients.”

“I was impressed by Donald Yance’s knowledge and philosophy years ago. When my son was diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia, I turned to Mederi Academy—and seven years later, he’s thriving. The training has deepened my 30+ years of practice, offering unmatched insight in cancer care and beyond. Biweekly Q&A sessions with Donnie and Jason provide invaluable knowledge and a supportive community. The dedication, courage, and compassion of the Mederi team and fellow practitioners in holistic cancer care is profoundly inspiring.”

Why Join the Mederi Academy

Mederi Academy provides what most practitioners have been searching for but couldn’t find elsewhere—a complete medical philosophy and systematic approach that integrates everything you already know with profound new levels of understanding and capability.

Blend Scientific Rigor with Spiritual Depth

Unlike training programs that ask you to choose between evidence-based medicine and traditional healing, Mederi Academy gives you both. You’ll learn to integrate pharmaceutical knowledge with herbal expertise, diagnaostic precision with intuitive assessment, research data with clinical wisdom. You’ll learn to integrate spiritual care naturally and professionally, without compromising your credibility.

Develop Integrative Oncology Expertise

While our training addresses all chronic conditions, many practitioners are drawn to our community specifically for our expertise in integrative oncology. Over four decades, I’ve developed comprehensive protocols for supporting patients through cancer treatment, addressing side effects, and optimizing outcomes—all safely integrated with conventional care.

Build Rapport with Allopathic Colleagues

One of the biggest challenges in integrative practice is gaining respect from conventional medical colleagues. Mederi Care training gives you the sophisticated knowledge and communication skills to build bridges rather than walls, to speak the language of evidence-based medicine while honoring traditional wisdom. You’ll learn not just what to recommend, but how to document it, communicate it, and collaborate effectively with oncologists, surgeons, and other specialists.

Gain Clinical Confidence in Complex Cases

Many practitioners feel overwhelmed when facing complex chronic conditions that don’t respond to standard protocols. Mederi Care’s three-lens diagnostic approach and six therapeutic toolboxes give you a systematic framework for understanding and addressing even the most challenging cases.

Not Just Techniques—A Complete Medical System

Most continuing education programs teach you specific techniques or protocols. Mederi Care training isn’t theoretical—it’s based on four decades of clinical practice with thousands of patients. Every protocol, every diagnostic approach, every therapeutic recommendation has been tested and refined in real clinical settings.

Mentorship That Transforms Your Practice

You’ll learn directly from me and other experienced Mederi Care practitioners who can share not just what to do, but how to think about complex clinical challenges. This isn’t just information transfer—it’s true mentorship.

A Community That Feels Like Family

Medicine can be profoundly isolating, especially when you’re trying to practice in ways that aren’t yet mainstream. When you train in Mederi Care, you join a community of like-minded practitioners who are committed to the same vision of complete, compassionate healthcare. You’re not just learning techniques—you’re joining a professional family.

A Personal Note

This community exists so that you have colleagues who understand what you’re trying to accomplish. So that you have support, encouragement, and practical guidance as you grow into the practitioner you’re meant to be.

The patients you serve deserve the best of all healing traditions. You deserve the support and community that makes that level of care possible.

Thank you for sharing so freely your commitment to healing. I hope you’ll consider joining us.

With deep respect,

Donnie Yance, MH, CN
