Certificate in Community Healthcare Outreach

Pine Manor College’s Certificate in Community Healthcare Outreach prepares students to work effectively and collaboratively within communities, particularly those with underserved healthcare needs, to promote and maintain the health of residents. Drawing on a variety of disciplines, our courses and established internship placements introduce students to the history and current practices related to community healthcare, issues involved in healthcare policy, and basic principles of health and illness. Additionally, the program focuses on ways to facilitate the development of community partnerships that foster the health and wellness of the community as a whole.

This Certificate Program serves three populations:

Public health personnel, nurses, social workers, and others who work in community healthcare.
Students interested in the Certificate Program in conjunction with another academic major or professional degree, either from the outside or within Pine Manor College.
Students majoring in Biology, Psychology, or Social and Political Systems for whom this Certificate would support their career goals.

The Certificate requires seven courses (four core courses and three electives). The Combined Certificate/Major Program requirements depend on the major professional degree that each student has or is pursuing. It is anticipated that some of these requirements will overlap other extant programs or external degrees.
