What is integrative health care?
Integrative health care is a patient-focused approach to wellness that promotes traditional medicine, along with treatments that support the whole person. Some factors emphasized in an integrative health degree include:
- Mental fitness.
- Social connection.
- Spiritual well-being.
Instead of focusing exclusively on holistic medicine, integrative health degree holders learn how traditional and alternative treatments can work together in a coordinated way.
What will I learn in this integrative health degree?
Integrative health degree students focus on scientific courses, as well as complementary approaches to wellness. You’ll learn about anatomy, physiology, stress management tools and mind-body therapies. In this program, you’ll focus on three key emphasis areas:
- Understanding the ethics, legalities and standards of practice of integrative health.
- Studying different therapies, modalities and practitioners.
- Developing a holistic approach to wellness that focuses on the mind, body and spirit.
Students in this program must choose one of two tracks. The first track, the Pre-Health Professional Grad School track, includes the core required courses for most graduate programs and is meant for students interested in earning an advanced degree in medicine. The second track, the Nursing and General Health Interest track, includes the prerequisites for ASU’s nursing program and is meant for students looking to pursue a path in nursing. This track is also a great choice for students with a general interest in the overall topic.
