Come explore over 45 hours of novel material supported by a wide range of scientific disciplines; focused on developing a rich, person-centered care model that is capable of exploring and supporting numerous levels within each person’s experience.
There is a common misconception that “integrative” is mostly about CAM (complementary and alternative medicine modalities). While CAM therapies may be considered as part of an integrative practice when they are patient-chosen and evidence-based, they are not the primary focus of this course. Rather, the focus is on building capacity to work with a broader lens – rooted in the biopsychosocial-spiritual model, mind-body integration, neuroscience, and more.
The Foundations course is distributed across 16 modules. The course offers a novel presentation style that weaves didactic with experiential learning across each module. The material presented reflects an accessible version of the even more extensive content compiled in a forthcoming, clinically-oriented textbook, Integrative Rehabilitation Practice: The Foundations of Whole-Person Care for Health Professionals, released May 2021, order at any online bookstore. Note: we encourage considering supporting independent booksellers and bookshop.org is a good option.
