Clinical Case Studies in Health Education
This course includes a series of detailed and well-documented clinical case studies directly related to the student’s program of study. The student will complete three comprehensive case reports, following the model provided in the course.
Each report serves as a concrete demonstration of the student’s skills across three key areas of naturopathic practice:
- Vital hygiene, for analyzing lifestyle factors and preventing imbalances;
- Health education, for guiding and empowering clients toward healthier habits;
- Nutritherapy, for applying nutritional principles tailored to each individual case.
This comprehensive assignment is designed to assess the student’s ability to think critically, structure a case methodically, and personalize a complete naturopathic approach grounded in real-world practice.
Included teaching methods:
- E-Learning: an interactive, motivating and effective learning method.
- Printable course booklets
- Online exams
- Access to the student center
- Videos and virtual library.
