Return to: School of Public Health
Designed to increase the cultural competency of public health and other professionals, this innovative graduate certificate program addresses the systemic root causes of health disparities. While racial and ethnic health disparities are examples of the consequences of social and economic disadvantages, disparities may also be related to sexual orientation, religion, gender, native language, age, and disability status. Certificate students will:
-
Assess the complexity of inequities among diverse groups of marginalized populations.
-
Mobilize communities where disparities exist.
-
Develop culturally tailored interventions and advocate for health public policy.
-
Evaluate the impact/potential impact of policy measures on overall health, health care access, and quality of care for these populations.
