Population Health Management Certificate

Over the course of ten weekly two-hour virtual sessions, the Population Health Management Certificate Program provides participants with an in-depth understanding of foundational concepts such as relevant industry definitions, the drivers for change in health care delivery and changing models of payment, as well as clinical interventions and best practices. Certificate completers will also acquire the skills necessary for adopting population health methodologies and approaches in their own practice or leadership role.

Expert instructors, who are health care and industry leaders, will lead the first nine sessions and facilitate an engaging simulation during the 10th session. This certificate program is ideal for:

  • Health care leaders, providers and caregivers, who are interested in population health management approaches for professional development
  • Health care leaders and employees who are interested in population health as a potential career
  • Providers or clinicians, who work in a population health unit, but have no formal training

This certificate is limited to 24 participants. The sessions will be offered virtually via Zoom and all certificate content will be uploaded into a learning management system for participants.
