What Is Holistic Health Education?
Holistic health education focuses on natural, integrative, and wellness-based approaches to supporting health and well-being. At Quantum University, students can pursue bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate, and PhD programs in Holistic Health, Natural Medicine, and Integrative Medicine, as well as standalone professional certifications such as the Exponential Health Coach program.
These programs are designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to support individuals through evidence-informed holistic health practices. They are educational programs and do not lead to a medical license. Upon graduation, students are eligible to apply for professional board certifications and industry-recognized credentials within the holistic and integrative health field.
How Does a Degree From Quantum University Differ from a Conventional Medical or Naturopathic Degree?
Quantum University’s degrees in Holistic, Alternative, Natural, and Integrative Medicine are not equivalent or comparable to a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctor of Naturopathy (N.D.) degree. Only institutions accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) or the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) can issue M.D. or N.D. degrees.
Quantum University offers a specialized educational pathway in Holistic Health, Natural Medicine, and Integrative Medicine for students who want to pursue careers in holistic and wellness-based healthcare. Rather than following the traditional medical school model, the university focuses on practitioner education grounded in natural, integrative, and complementary approaches to health.
As a state-authorized degree-granting institution in Hawaii, Quantum University serves students worldwide through flexible, online degree and certification programs. Its programs are recognized by professional organizations within the holistic health industry, including the Board of Natural Medicine Doctors and Practitioners (BNMDP), the Board of Integrative Medicine (BOIM), the American Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board (ANMAB), and other professional certification bodies.
After graduation, students apply directly to boards such as AADP, ANMCB, BNMDP, BOIM, AAMA, and IPHM for certifications and titles like Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP), Doctor of Natural Medicine (DNM), and Doctor of Integrative Medicine (IMD). These certifications carry a defined scope of practice, not a medical or naturopathic license. A Quantum University credential does not permit diagnosing, treating, curing, or prescribing, and graduates must not represent themselves as licensed medical practitioners or naturopathic doctors.
