Murad Inc.’s University for Inclusive Health (UIH) announced has entered into an ongoing partnership with FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising to develop a new Wellness and Spa course offered under their Beauty Industry Merchandising & Marketing major. This marks the first time the University for Inclusive Health has teamed with an outside organization for ongoing educational purposes as well as the first time FIDM has collaborated with a skincare company to create, develop, and educate students for class curriculum.
The Wellness and Spa course was created to help students build a foundational understanding of the role that an Inclusive approach to health can have in their future careers in the beauty, spa and wellness industries. /div>
The quarterly class will debut in the winter 2011 and will include special guest lecturers from Murad who will highlight the transformative potential of an Inclusive approach to Health./div>
“The beauty industry continues to change and consumers now look for products, services, and programs that are not just a ‘quick-fix’ but rather a way of life to look, feel and thrive at their best. Inclusive Health does just that,” said Tracey Samayeh, president of Inclusive Health. “As FIDM students are the future of the beauty industry, we at Murad are proud to partner with this elite organization to educate participants on the growing marriage of beauty and wellness, as well as prepare graduating students on how to apply these important principles in their future careers.”/div>
The course outline and content, co-developed by Dr. Howard Murad, FAAD and founder of Murad, Inc., and Murad Inclusive Health representatives, covers the evolution of Dr. Murad’s research in the Science of Cellular Water, which identified the common denominator to aging and illness is cellular water loss. Students will learn how the three prongs of Inclusive Health—Topical Care, Internal Care and Emotional Self-Care—work together to create the ideal environment for optimal cellular health.
The Wellness and Spa course is available twice a year, beginning in January 2011. Following graduation from FIDM, Murad’s University for Inclusive Health will offer continuing education for participants who wish to pursue a career as an Inclusive Health Practitioner./div>
UIH started in 2008 and provides specialized education to industry professionals who will bring about a new generation of experts setting the standard for total wellness in the skincare and health industries.
