Worcester State University's Post-Master's Certificate in Public and Population Health Nursing keeps you at the forefront of understanding and addressing current community and global healthcare trends, issues, and challenges. This concise certificate program can be finished in just a few months, allowing you to respond to this urgent need promptly.
The curriculum examines pressing concerns in today's expansive healthcare sector while offering specialization options in global/cross-cultural health or health systems transformation. You'll learn from seasoned faculty members who are leaders in their disciplines. Notably, Worcester State's Dr. Lillian R. Goodman Department of Nursing is among only seven U.S. nursing programs honored by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses and CDC for pioneering population health education through their Academic Partnerships to Improve Health (APIH) program.
This 11-credit program equips you for evidence-based nursing practice with increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary care and nurses' leadership in patient health management.
