Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I continue my learnings with a specialty course from the Primal Health Coach Institute?

You’re a certified health coach and you’re good at what you do, but it can be challenging to get past the front desk staff and capture the attention of a busy, overworked, stressed MD. This course prepares you to work with patients—which is different from working with clients within the general population—and prepares you for your job search by covering what to expect and giving you the tools and know-how to speak with medical practitioners and present an irrefusable proposal for collaboration. You don’t have to navigate securing a position as resident health coach in a medical practice alone.

How long will it take for me to complete the course and earn my certification?

You can proceed with your reading, viewing, and test taking at your own pace, logging into the course at any time and picking up where you left off. There are 6 core chapters. We suggest allowing for 4-5 hours per chapter, or approximately 30 hours in total. There’s no rush, and you have lifetime access to the material.

How difficult are the online course and exams, and what if I have trouble passing?

This course material is on a par with an upper-division college course but we present the material in an easy-to-read, totally digestible manner. There are exams at the end of each chapter and a final exam at the end of the course. If you score below 75 percent, you can return to the material for review, and then attempt the exam again and as many times as you need to pass it. If you struggle on the exams, our staff is here to help you with one-on-one support to ensure that your experience is positive.

I’ve taken other online courses and they didn’t live up to my expectations. How is this course different?

When you enroll in any of our courses you immediately become part of our community, and we’ll do everything in our power to make sure you reach your education and career goals. We’re so confident that the program and our organization will exceed your expectations that we offer a money-back guarantee. When you enroll in the Health Coaching in Medical Practices Specialist Certification course you gain access to course materials immediately. If the course isn’t to your liking or doesn't meet your needs we will issue a full refund, no questions asked, within 7 days of enrolling and if you've completed no more than 3 chapters of the course. Our refund policy gives you the opportunity to test drive the first 3 chapters of the course risk free. 

Will I be board-certified and able to be hired by a healthcare organization after taking this course?

This course includes information on insurance billing and board certification. In order to be hired by an organization that plans to bill insurance for your services, you must be board certified by the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches. Our Master Coach Certification course prepares you to sit for the board-certifying exam. If, however, your business plan is structured around referrals from private MDs or other clinics and you or they will be billing patients directly, then board certification is not necessarily required. Every practice is different, so we advise you to have this discussion early in your job search.

What Our Grads Have to Say

Completing the Primal Health Coach Program has proven to be an invaluable asset to my coaching practice. I'm so much more prepared to explain the benefits of a primal lifestyle to my clients and coach them as they take their health, fitness, and performance to a higher level than they ever thought possible.

James Arthur

Certified Primal Health Coach

The Primal Health Coach Program expanded my access to and credibility with people who embrace primal principles but who may not have considered holistic medicine, enhancing my practice and extending my professional reach. 

Dr. Dana Leigh Lyons

Certified Primal Health Coach

The knowledge I learned from the Primal Health Coach Program allowed me to skillfully integrate for my patients the healing power of Periodontal Laser Therapy with the healing power of primal lifestyle and diet.
