Expanded ACHS Graduate Certificate Programs Focus on Latest Integrative Medicine Trends

Portland, OR, March 2, 2016 (Newswire.com) - “We are very excited for the new updates to our curriculum,” says ACHS Chief Strategy Officer Erika Yigzaw. “The graduate certificates now include more industry-specific courses that students cannot access elsewhere.” 

“For example,” continues Yigzaw, “new additions to the Graduate Certificate Programs include NUT 501 Advanced Applied Holistic Nutrition and NUT 509 Graduate Topics in Holistic Nutrition. These updates offer our students a more modality focused specialized curriculum that aligns with the professional healthcare background of many of our incoming graduate students. These healthcare providers are looking to add specialized integrative health training to their repertoire: The updated programs give them what they need, when they need it, without requiring them to repeat general education requirements such as Anatomy and Physiology. These programs will better prepare them to bridge the gap between the allopathic, integrative, and holistic health and wellness industries.”

These expanded Graduate Certificate programs provide healthcare professionals with more in-depth knowledge of holistic health and wellness protocols and the ability to better serve the health needs of their communities. They also create opportunities for affordable graduate-level specialized training that can be completed in less time than a traditional master’s program.
