BOARD CERTIFICATION

The Next Step in Your Career

A common credential, such as Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition® demonstrates
our unity as an industry and opens the door to assert ourselves as a viable part
of the healthcare delivery system, proving that we undergo the same rigors as
other health professionals. Those rigors include: getting a standardized
education, passing a national board exam, staying on top of what’s current in
our industry (obtaining CECs), and going through the credentialing process.




BOOST YOUR CREDIBILITY WITH BOARD CERTIFICATION

Becoming Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition® or BCHN® demonstrates that you
have achieved the highest level of professional recognition and validation of
your knowledge and experience in the holistic nutrition industry.

To earn this valuable designation, you must demonstrate an exceptional level of
knowledge and understanding of holistic nutrition by passing the board exam and
documenting client contact hours.

BENEFITS OF BOARD CERTIFICATION

\

CREDIBILITY

Board certification indicates that you meet the educational and ethical
standards required by a professional credentialing body.
\

ASSURANCE

For your clients, insurance companies, the medical community, and other
complementary practitioners, board certification proves that you are aware of
and conduct your business within your legal scope of service and standards of
professional conduct.
\

VALIDATION

Showcase your educational and professional qualifications (and show off your
hard work, time, passion, and commitment to the holistic health industry!).

\

CONFIDENCE

There is nothing more personally gratifying than knowing you have achieved the
highest credential offered in your field! You should feel proud and excited to
share your accomplishment with everyone you meet.

\

ACCESS

Doors open when you share that you are board-certified. Doctors, wellness
companies, state/federal agencies, schools, corporations, supplement
manufacturers/distributors, and more are taking note of this important
designation.

WHY IS IT CRUCIAL THAT YOU ACTIVELY USE THE BCHN® TITLE (and use it correctly)?



Competing nutrition organizations have efforts underway in many states to make
it illegal to use specific titles associated with the word “nutrition.” The bill
language in those states allows only trademarked titles to be used. The NANP
took steps years ago to get the title “Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition®,”
trademarked by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. So, as long as
you’re Board Certified, you’ll be covered. Board Certified in Holistic
Nutrition® is a Credential; it has been trademarked and can be used by Holistic
Nutrition Professionals who have passed the exam. While it does not provide you
with a pathway to licensure, the credential does set you apart from other
practitioners, it shows you are well versed in holistic nutrition, understand
your scope of practice, continue your education, and have been vetted through a
background check through the National Practitioner Data Bank.

USE THE TITLE CORRECTLY:

“Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition®” or “BCHN®.”
New graduates who have not yet provided evidence of earning 500 Contact Hours
will use the title “Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition® (Candidate)” or
“BCHN® (Candidate).”
