Holistic Provider Licensing & Board Certification
The natural health industry is supported by a thriving network of holistic educators, accrediting bodies, board certifiers, insurers, and licensing agencies. Holistic providers can obtain specialized licensing from third-party organizations, which also advocate for practitioners' legal rights to access and provide natural, functional, and holistic medicine. These organizations offer directories and online recognition, enhancing credibility and visibility while protecting practitioners' right to practice.
Eligibility for Our Graduates
Our educational programs qualify graduates for holistic provider licensing and board certification through reputable third-party organizations. We connect our students with trusted certifiers and regulatory bodies that provide additional credibility, legal protection, and professional recognition in the field of natural health. While licensing is not mandatory, it allows practitioners to use titles such as *licensed holistic provider* or *board-certified holistic doctor,* depending on the organization’s standards and the professionals’ eligibility and qualifications. ā

Important Considerations
Licensing and certification are not issued by state boards but through private organizations that uphold the holistic practice community. Graduates are eligible for certification with any recognized holistic board, regardless of the organization's accreditation relationship with us. This allows flexibility and choice for graduates to align with organizations that best suit their professional goals.
Licensing for Medical Professionals
For licensed medical professionals, holistic provider licensing is especially necessary. It extends protection and recognition when practicing outside the scope of their practice within conventional medical standards of care. Knowing that an organization advocates for your right to practice holistic medicine provides reassurance and support in your career.
Licensing & Board Certification
Holistic provider licensing and board certification empower practitioners to confidently pursue careers in natural, functional, and holistic medicine while ensuring their rights and professional standing are safeguarded.
