Integrative Health and Wellness

The Undergraduate Integrative Health and Wellness Minor developed by the UC Center for Integrative Health and Wellness (CIHW) will enable students to become more active in their own healthcare and that of their community to focus more on overall wellness and less so on disease or sick care.  We aim to provide students with a broad-based exposure to healthy behaviors and evidence-based complementary approaches. This minor will help interdisciplinary students across a wide spectrum of fields to become collaborative and transformative practitioners, educators and/or patients that focus on the use of integrative and complementary health approaches to achieve optimal health.  

Students who choose to complete an integrative health minor increase their awareness of emerging issues in integrative and complementary health.  They will become aware of how integrative health care brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way focusing on a patient-focused approach to health care and wellness which often including mental, emotional, functional, spiritual, social, and community aspects.  In other words, treating the whole person rather than, for example, one organ system.
