Specialization in Integrative Health: practical path to health

Specialization in Integrative Health

The Specialization in Integrative Health aims to train health professionals in different areas and specialties, with an emphasis on expanding care in the multi-professional model. It promotes the development of an interdisciplinary, multidimensional, and integral vision, focused on promoting health and well-being.

Based on the consolidated experience of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Faculty of Medicine of USP, the course combines different sciences, medical systems, and areas of knowledge, supported by an innovative, diverse, and highly qualified faculty. USP expands access to professional qualification in a growing field, with a focus on the WHO Global Library of Traditional Medicine, which brings together more than 1.5 million indexed publications.

Following the guidelines of the WHO Global Strategy for Traditional Medicine 2025–2034, adopted by 170 countries, Brazil celebrates in 2026 twenty years of the National Policy of Integrative Practices (PNPIC). PICS are already present in 85% of Brazilian municipalities and are increasingly part of health services, reflecting a broader care model focused on quality of life throughout the entire life cycle.

Over 450 hours, the course combines relevant content with live classes with leading experts, as well as providing practical immersions in the largest hospital complex in Latin America, with experience in the Institutional Project Ser Integral: Health as a Source of Life.
