The key objective of this webinar is to host an inquiry into building a systemic view to health and healthcare, a view that could result in a holistic approach to wellness. By holistic health and healthcare, we mean an approach to wellness that simultaneously addresses the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual components of health and is not to be confused with alternative medicine.

This webinar covers a vast landscape that includes an evaluation of the role of the bio-medical model in the treatment of illness and the paradigm of well-being as well as the changing face of health seen through a systems lens and what it means to be holistic.
