Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Ethics

The certificate will enhance competencies for ethics services across healthcare organizations, including Ethics Committees, Ethics Consultations, Education and Policy needs in ethics. The Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Ethics encourages the integration of ethics across the health care organization fostering culturally competent patient-centered care.

The entire program Certificate may be completed in person or from a distance. Graduate instructors at the center for Global Health Ethics both record and livestream all of their lectures. The Center uses Zoom for students who cannot attend classes in person. In this way, they can participate in class from a distance. Students who are unable to participate in class, either in person or from a distance, can watch the class recording at a time that is convenient to them.

The certificate must be completed over a period of a maximum of four years, thus offering students time and flexibility to complete the certificate at their own pace. All credits earned towards the Graduate Certificate may roll over into the MA, PhD or DHCE in Healthcare Ethics. An example would be a student continuing on into the MA, after completing the certificate, will need to complete only 5 additional courses (15 credits).
