This certificate is designed to provide students the opportunity to do a deep dive into the causes of and solutions for health inequities in the U.S. and abroad. Specifically, this certificate will prepare future healthcare providers (physicians, PAs, nurses, etc.) and public health officials to identify the social and structural determinants of health and wellbeing with the ultimate goal of working to dismantle the various barriers that contribute to poor health among stigmatized and underserved social groups. This certificate is flexible, allowing students to focus their studies on particular disparities across race/ethnicity, gender, class, and age.
