The Vanderbilt Health Coaching Program is specifically designed by field experts to set you up for Health Coaching success wherever your journey takes you! The Vanderbilt Health Coaching Program (VHCP) has two phases and runs two Cohorts each year, Spring and Fall.
Our program is designed for licensed health care professionals who desire to either practice as an independent Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), a Nurse Coach-Board Certified (NC-BC), or to enhance a current health care role by obtaining the skills to facilitate patients to better self-manage health and optimize wellness.

Why Choose Us?

Our program's modified distance format is designed for working individuals, like you. This means you can participate while you continue to do all you currently do! The majority of learning can be completed online, at whatever time is most convenient for you. Even the bi-weekly practice calls, which include two other trainees, can be set at a mutually agreed-upon time. In addition, the group skills calls and group mentorship calls are offered in the early evening. The two 3-day intensive dates, while mandatory, occur Friday-Sunday so you can take minimal time away from work and home.
