This Track B program offers you skills and knowledge to transform your work experience and enhance patient care and healing through the application of mindful presence, respectful listening and relationship-centered patient care.

This approach to care relies heavily on the holistic nurse-patient relationship, inviting patients into the center of their healing and wellness. This model of patient education demystifies the cause and effect of chronic disease.

By offering a different perspective on the cause and effect of disease process, patients experience greater control and understanding of their health issues.

The Whole Health Educator program for Nurses is ideal for the nurse professional who desires to offer more than symptom-oriented, treatment oriented care. The program courses are approved for nursing continuing education credits.

The curriculum has been reviewed and endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Association, is endorsed and distributed by Sigma Theta Tau, the International Honor Society for Nursing, Nursing Knowledge International and is approved by VSNA, which is an accredited approver of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center - Commission on Accreditation.
