Master of Health Science in Integrative Care

The Master of Integrated Care program is designed for health care professionals looking to expand their horizons and perspectives in healthcare. These individuals may have their roots in mainstream medicine or in Complementary and Integrative Healthcare.  

The program emphasizes integrative and interprofessional activities that apply the principles of integrative care to reimagine health and the delivery of health care. Some may do so through the lens of direct patient care. Others will work with administrators, business owners, educators and policy makers. Every student will learn elements related to these points of view, enriching their own sphere of influence. 

Overall Design

Overall Design 

The program is designed in two parts. Core content will be taken by all master’s learners. Electives (courses within areas of specialization) can be added to meet credit requirements and supplement needs or interest. Completing the entire suite of content in an area of specialization can result in a special emphasis designation on the master’s degree or can separately be gained as a certificate.
