Where human biophysics
meets clinical insight.
Explore IHBI's progressive certification pathway in human biophysics. Begin with Level 1: a three-day introduction to ICR science, clinical perspectives, and practical application.
Discover Level 1 ↓Level 1 ICR Practitioner Certification
Connect the physics.
Deepen your clinical perspective.
Three days of scientific foundations, clinical case discussion, and practical application with Dr. Alberto Garoli and Ann Shivas, D.O., M.T.
Explore how biological signaling, magnetic fields, and physiological rhythms intersect—and develop a structured approach to evaluating frequency-based modalities within your professional scope.
Connect research to clinical questions
Examine cases involving cardiorespiratory balance, microcirculation, sleep, neurological wellness, vagal pathways, and recovery. Consider mechanisms, evidence, and limits of interpretation.
Develop practical clinical reasoning
Participate in guided application and assessment-based case discussion. Consider practitioner scope, individual context, and responsible integration into professional care.
What your Level 1 program includes
Faculty-led sessions, clinical case studies, a practical component, and an IHBI Level 1 ICR Practitioner Certificate upon successful completion of program requirements.
Certification recognizes completion of IHBI's program. Participants should confirm professional development recognition with their own college or association.
