​What do I need to join The Canadian Association for Integrative Nutrition?
If you have graduated from an Approved School Program that meets or exceeds the requirements for the RHNP designation, you are pre-approved to join The Canadian Association for Integrative Nutrition.

​
​Note: If you have graduated your courses in the current year, your 35 Credit Requirement is already fulfilled although we do encourage you to keep on learning throughout the year with us or through an approved school.

Did you graduate from a school that is not yet approved? 
If you are a graduate of a Nutrition Consulting or Holistic Nutritionist diploma, consisting of a minimum of 2000 hours; including advanced subjects such as Anatomy & Physiology, Nutrition Sciences, and Symptomatology, your school may qualify for "Approved School" status and the Registered Holistic Nutrition Practitioner (RHNP) professional designation.  

Most schools are eager to sign up to help their students.  The best way to make this happen is to email your school requesting they get approved so you can start enjoying your membership as soon as possible.  Feel free to copy us in info@integrativenutritionassociation.com so we can answer any questions the school may have.
