Education Programs, Center for Spirituality and Healing, Academic Health Center at the University of Minnesota

From our Graduate Minor in Complementary Therapies and Healing Practices, the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate program and health coaching track, study-abroad options, as well as continuing education programs and online learning, the Center provides healthcare professionals, students and the greater community access to the latest approaches in complementary and alternative healthcare education.

Collaborating with the University's Academic Health Center schools and colleges, the Center helps weave complementary and alternative care topics into graduate and undergraduate health sciences curricula. Health sciences students learn how different cultures, faiths and integrative therapies can impact clinical care as well as health and well-being.

Health coaching is a new profession designed to meet the needs of people actively seeking to improve their well-being in the midst of complex and often confusing healthcare options. It is practiced from a holistic perspective that sees each person as intrinsically healthy, whole, wise, and the ultimate expert in his or her healing journey.
