I've taken Moore's field class and highly recommend it. Also his books: Medicinal Plants of the ...Mountain West, ...Pacific West. His website http://www.swsbm.com/ has a wealth of information, including all his clinical manuals, which give information on dosage, clinical indications, and differential diagnosis (but the info is highly concentrated, so you have to know the herbs or the physiology to make best use of them). He's also made available pdfs of many Eclectic publications (the period in medicine where herbs were used as a primary treatment).

By the way, one of the oft-repeated observations of many herbalists in this tradition is that the herbs you need are often growing nearby. It's also true that many herbs have multiple uses. To beginners or those unfamiliar with herbal med, this may seem another way of saying that there's not much difference or that it doesn't matter what you use. Not so. But, as with foods, what grows locally is usually better for you.
