Whole Person Health
Certificate Course
Welcome
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” Nelson Mandela
Starting in February 2026, the Certificate in Whole-Person Health (WPH) is a pioneering educational outcome of the Global Health Catalyst (GHC) Summit at Harvard/MIT and the Religion and Global Health Forum at Garrett. Offered through the Global Oncology University, this interdisciplinary certificate is designed for healthcare professionals, faith-based leaders, program managers, policymakers, researchers, and community health advocates committed to transforming health and healing by integrating physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Grounded in addressing both personal and communal dimensions of the social determinants of health, the course brings together modern medicine, behavioral science, environmental health, phytomedicine, and artificial intelligence (AI) with ancient and indigenous wisdom from diverse faith and cultural traditions. Structured around four critical pillars—Care, Advocacy, Research, and Education (CARE)—the WPH Certificate equips participants with practical tools, ethical frameworks, and systems-level insights to advance whole-person health, strengthen health systems, and promote equitable, culturally grounded care globally.
