Spirituality in Health and Healing
Graduate Certificate
Find deeper meaning in the healing journey.
Rooted in Jesuit values and open to students of all faiths and backgrounds, the Spirituality in Health and Healing Graduate Certificate at Regis University invites health care professionals to explore the powerful connection between faith, ethics and whole-person care. Designed for practicing clinicians and health professionals, this 12-credit academic certificate blends online and in-person course work with a one-of-a-kind retreat experience in the serene setting of Sedalia, Colorado. This hybrid format gives students the opportunity to pause, reflect and connect with a supportive community — while learning to better serve patients in mind, body and spirit.
Through the lens of cura personalis — care for the whole person — students deepen their own understanding of spirituality and how it shapes the healing process. You’ll learn how to engage patients compassionately, respect diverse faith traditions and apply ethical frameworks that support spiritual well-being in clinical settings. Whether you’re seeking personal renewal, professional growth or a way to address burnout with purpose, this program offers the tools to transform your practice — and yourself.
