Healing Arts Certificate Program at University of New Mexico
The Healing Arts Certificate Program at UNM is designed to provide an introduction to the healing arts for all interested students, members of the community, and professional health care workers.
The term ‘healing arts’ refers to a wide range of creative and disciplined practices that foster an individual’s innate healing potential thereby promoting health, wellness, coping skills, and personal change.
The program will not focus on any one particular healing art but rather provide an overview that includes examination of current research, exposure to various historical, cultural, and spiritual approaches to healing, and clinical observation and experience. Although participants will be required to obtain further training in their chosen area of expertise, the program will provide a substantial theoretical grounding for all potential healing arts practitioners and an introduction to the Arts-in-Medicine Program at the University of New Mexico Hospitals.
