Indian Health Care Certificate Courses

Native American Indigenous Church (N.A.I.C.) and American College of Natural Medicine are announcing our new Indian Health Care Certificate Courses for Native American providers of specialty wellness services and counseling targeted at specific illnesses and conditions causing much suffering in the Native American communities both on and off the reservation.

The first program is the SomaVeda® Native Healthcare Specialist: Native Diabetes Care Counselor™; however, we hope to add more certificate courses for professional Indigenous Native counselors seeking to improve the health and longevity of all Native Peoples. Our systems are unique because they honor, respect, and incorporate traditional sacred medicine teachings and ceremonies with modern, evolving natural medicine strategies for curing people.

In addition to treatment strategies based on Sacred Medicine traditions, we will teach vital organizational skills, office, record keeping, and marketing to develop a successful practice. Participants are empowered to return and work with reservation populations in providing healthcare.

For practitioners of all disciplines desiring to work with native communities, we recommend our courses as preparation and compatible with your existing practice.
