If you are seeking to enhance or expand your career with whole person care skills and integrated whole health knowledge, this program is for you!

How will this program enhance my career?

Our unique approach to health education fosters authentic, organic learning. We view teaching and learning as a cooperative interaction which leads both teacher and student into a deeper understanding of life and its mysteries. Our programs are non-competitive, stress-free and filled with humor and fun!

Our student body is comprised of a diverse group of individuals. Regardless of background, be they physicians, nurses, medical specialists, educators or allied health care practitioners, student feedback is that our curriculums are "exactly what has been missing" from their previous educational experience.

The type of work you do after completing a Whole Health Education program will depend on your previous education and training, as well as your present goals. Our graduates are medical professionals, educators, as well as trained or certified allied and complementary health practitioners, who bring the whole health education and training they receive into their current field of work.

Our entry level, Enhanced Medical Assisting training, which includes our whole health patient educator curriculum, can open the door to a career in whole person health care. Our Whole Health Education certificate program for Nurses, can enhance any nurses' practice, either in a medical setting or in private practice. Our Whole Health Counselor certification program is specifically for individuals with prior training or education in the fields of health, nutrition, science, or education. Individuals attracted to this program understand that treating and caring for the whole person is what people are seeking from today's health care practitioners and wish to enhance their current career with certification as a Whole Health Educator.

This whole person/whole health model is the direction health care is currently moving towards. Both the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) have identified guidelines for the practice of health care in all settings, which include: patients at the center of their healthcare decision making; care for the whole person; and evidenced-based health education as key guidelines. For practitioners or educators who desire to provide the very best for their clients, this program is a must. The Whole Health Educator certification program is ideal for nutritionists, therapists, medical providers, social workers, educators, hospice providers, body workers, yoga teachers, energy practitioners, fitness and wellness coaches, personal trainers, holistic health practitioners, aromatherapists, patient advocates, and all other complimentary/alternative and medical health care practitioners.

While certified Whole Health Educators can work in established mainstream health related programs, a significant number have created their own unique "right work" utilizing the training and instruction of the Whole Health Counselor certification program.

Kelly Healthcare Resources® and Kelly Placement®, Whole Health Pro, Nursing Spectrum, Healthcare Review and other job registration boards are available to our graduates. In addition, we provide first year graduates with free career counseling with our Program Director, for those who wish to explore their career path using the Whole Health Education training.
