ENACT MEANINGFUL CHANGE IN YOUR CAREER AND IN THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE YOU’RE CALLED TO SERVE

Health and wellness is multidimensional—and so too should be the education and training of allied health professionals.

Created and directed by Dr. Matthews , Point Loma Nazarene University’s Master of Kinesiology in Integrative Wellness program prepares professionals to provide a whole-person approach to health and wellness by designing, delivering and effectively collaborating with other professionals in the implementation of evidence-based lifestyle interventions that optimize well-being and prevent and manage chronic diseases.

Reflective of a true interdisciplinary team, the students in this one-year accelerated degree program include registered nurses, registered dietitians, health educators, exercise professionals, health and wellness coaches, and future medical doctors—all of whom are called to empower patients and clients to enact meaningful lifestyle changes and improve health outcomes.

To elevate the learning experience and accommodate practicing professionals across the U.S. and around the world, this unique cohort-style program is offered in a fully online yet highly interactive format, providing regular real-time interaction and engagement with faculty and colleagues.
