Holistic
Health Programs ~ Human Studies
Upon completion of all three of Holistic Health Programs (2,320 hours), Hummingbird Institute of Natural Therapies will present you with the title of Naturopath; the traditional diploma available to orthodox naturopaths. Certification is by H.I.N.T. Internship hours – there are no additional fees for internship hours and students may not charge for their services. To provide students with multiple options to accommodate today’s busy life styles, students have two options for completing intern requirements. -Students may schedule time with one of their instructors to "shadow" or observe them during their professional practice (typically Monday through Friday), at which time the student will have the opportunity to assess and observe the application of the material they are learning. Time will also be given for the student to review the cases for the day with their instructor and ask questions about what they observed. The majority of HINT instructors practice within ten miles of the school. Intern Days - Students may chose to participate in Intern Days, during which students are given the opportunity to assess and apply what they have learned with volunteers from the community under the guidance of the instructor(s) participating in these days. Intern days are most commonly scheduled on Saturdays with a 30 day notice of such days to students. Volunteers for these days are typically members of the local volunteer fire departments and their families. Intern Days are scheduled at HINT. There is no profit to the school or the instructors from a student’s intern work. Ideally, students would begin their acquiring their intern hours after attending a minimum of four classes and no less than 30 days prior to their completion date.
Internship hours - Students must attend three births with at least one birth in the home and one birth in the hospital to gain experience in multiple settings. They must also participate in the pregnancy and infant care of four mothers and their infants. Students may not charge for their services during internship hours. The school will provide students with prospects for internship hours. Students will have the opportunity to "shadow" or observe their instructors during their professional practice (typically Monday through Friday), when seeing pregnant women and infants, at which time the student will have the opportunity to assess and observe the application of the material they are learning. However, as pregnancy and birth are rarely schedulable events, students should also be prepared for last minute notice of interning opportunities, particularly in the event of a birth. Directed Studies - directed study hours for all programs involve a combination of reading additional books or school supplied written data and providing practical application of that information in conjunction with the material covered in the classes. Students (except the Doula program) are also required to write a 20 page research paper. The topic of the paper must be approved by HINT and may contain a maximum of 50% facts from the internet.

Students granted credit for previous education and training will receive a $200.00 tuition discount per credited class.
