The CIMHS certificate in Integrative Wellness Coaching is an opportunity to earn a professional credential that comprehensively prepares students with the fundamental competencies and skills to work within a variety of settings such as private practice, medical clinics, employee wellness centers, and corporate offices. Nurses, dieticians, health educators, organizational consultants/managers, massage therapists, and yoga teachers are incorporating coaching to strengthen their professional practice and communication skills.

The Certificate in Integrative Wellness Coaching is an “Approved Coach Specific Training Hours” program through The International Coach Federation (ICF).  Certificants may apply 69 coach training hours toward the ICF credential. Additional requirements for ICF certification are posted at: www.coachfederation.org. This program is also approved by the National Consortium for Credentialing Health and Wellness Coaches (NCCHWC).

Detailed course descriptions are available in the Catalog.

Certificate Requirements for 2016-2017 Academic Year approved by CIMHS Degree Program Committee.

For non-CIMHS degree students, the certificate includes an 8-week graduate colloquium (1-credit), three academic courses (9 credits), one residential conference, and a capstone essay. This is an educational opportunity for individuals to obtain a professional certificate without having to commit to a graduate program.

CIMHS students already take at least one 1-credit Graduate Colloquium and have an assigned advisor. They will not need to take this additional one-credit Graduate Colloquium. Consult with an academic advisor for additional information.

For those individuals currently enrolled in the MBM degree program, the required three courses (9 credits) may be added to their curriculum.
