This 12-credit certificate program for students interested in pursuing a career in the
health professions aims to promote the foundational knowledge and skills needed
to transition to graduate-level health-professions training. The program is designed
to provide learning experiences that help students develop in their career path by
incorporating aspects of professional identity development, career discernment and
practical application of skills such as problem-based learning, self-directed learning
and medical research. Supervised experiential learning experiences in real
healthcare settings help situate the learning in real-life medical practice settings.
Classes taken with other healthcare students provide an opportunity to learn with
others with similar career goals and to continue to develop interpersonal and
professional skills.
