Health counseling: a graduate program and course. 1986

J H Childers

If health counseling is to continue to emerge as a unique specialization, a health counseling curriculum needs to be identified. Few health education or counselor education programs currently have the faculty and program resources to independently train health counselors. As a result, an interdisciplinary approach to the preparation of health counselors is advocated. This article describes a 45-semester-hour interdisciplinary master's degree offered by the Health Education and Counselor Education Programs at the University of Arkansas, Fayeteville, Arkansas designed to prepare health counselors.
