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.
