Asnwered by the National Director of Health Coaching at Marathon Health.
The foundation of practice at Marathon Health is the Health Coaching mindset. The patient is put first, and the expectation is that the Marathon Health care team will seek to understand, actively listen to, and empower the patients to be their healthiest selves. With that, all Marathon Health care teams receive training in motivational interviewing.
For those conducting health coaching appointments, the expectation and training should align with the rigorous standards, scope of practice, code of ethics, and education set forth by the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC). Marathon Health has an NBHWC-approved training program that care teams can enroll in, and upon successful completion, they are eligible to sit for the board exam.
