Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Quantum Hero?

A Quantum Hero is someone who is certified as a Doctor in Natural or Integrative Medicine, who gives back to their community by volunteering at a Clinic for Humanity. Students can work towards being a Quantum Hero (and receive the Tuition Award immediately) if they enroll in the following programs:
‘DNM – Doctor in Natural Medicine’ certified by the BNMDP – Board of Natural Medicine Doctors and Practitioners.
‘IMD – Doctor in Integrative Medicine’ certified by the BOIM – Board of Integrative Medicine.
When you enroll in a program that leads to one of these certifications, let your Academic Advisor know that you are willing to commit to volunteering at a Clinic for Humanity.

What is a Tuition Award?

A Tuition Award is a humanitarian way to help reduce the cost of a new student’s tuition at Quantum University. A Tuition Award is given to a new student in exchange for hours of services they commit to do at a Clinic for Humanity after their graduation and certification. It is essentially a discount on tuition from a Quantum University program, provided that the student commits now to volunteer later, upon their certification.

How can I receive a Quantum Hero Tuition Award?

In order to qualify for the “Clinics for Humanity” program and Tuition Awards, a student must enroll in a Bachelor to Ph.D Program or Doctorate and Ph.D Program in Natural or Integrative Medicine.
