Welcome to the Integrative and Whole Health Foundations Certificate Program
In today’s healthcare environment, clinicians are increasingly encountering patients with complex health issues that cannot be fully addressed by conventional medicine alone. The Foundations of Integrative and Whole Health Foundations certificate program is designed to bridge this gap by providing practitioners with the knowledge and skills to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care. This 300-hour1 program teaches the integration of conventional and complementary approaches, such as nutrition, mind-body techniques, and botanical medicine, which are essential for treating the whole person — mind, body, spirit, and community. Studies have shown that integrative medicine can significantly improve patient outcomes and satisfaction by focusing on prevention and wellness, rather than just treating symptoms2.
By completing this program, practitioners not only enhance their clinical toolkit but also gain the ability to meet the diverse and complex needs of their patients with evidence-based, integrative solutions, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and reduced clinician burnout3.
