The Center for Mind-Body Medicine’s (CMBM) Certification Program is designed for individuals who have successfully completed the Professional and Advanced Training Program in Mind-Body Medicine. We offer three certifications to meet the needs and flexibility of the communities and individuals who we work with: Certification Program in Mind-Body Medicine – Signature Track, Certification Program in Mind-Body Medicine – Essential Track, and Certification Program in Mind-Body Medicine – Customized Track. Upon completion of the Professional and Advanced Training Programs, participants are eligible to apply for the Certification Program and choose the track that best fits their goals.
Signature Track
This is the Center for Mind-Body Medicine’s current Certification program that has been offered for over 25 years. It offers the most rigorous training of the three tracks, and can potentially lead to a faculty, supervisor, or intern position with CMBM.
Essential Track
This Certification track was developed for individuals who want support in using mind-body medicine in their community, but want a more flexible practicum, shorter timeline, and lower cost option.
Customized Track
This Certification track offers flexibility and customization for our partners and funders. It is targeted toward international communities and populations that are often in war zones and other high-trauma situations.
Key Differences At-a-Glance
Individuals who are interested in becoming Certified in Mind-Body Medicine have the option to choose either our Signature Track of Essential Track. The table below highlights the key differences between these two tracks to help you determine which path aligns best with your unique goals and needs.
