The Health Research Methods Advanced Practice Certificate (APC) is designed for students (faculty, staff and clinicians) who are seeking research skills and mentorship in study design, data collection and analysis. Students will acquire foundational skills through the three required classes (9 credits). Each student will be assigned to a research mentor who will serve as an advisor and, as needed, will facilitate connections with mentors, content experts and methodologists.
Courses can be applied toward the Master of Public Health upon successful completion.
