Public Health Program and Policy Planning and Evaluation

About

This Graduate Certificate program prepares students to design, implement, and evaluate health programs and learn how to analyze and consider the ethical implications of health policy.

Students in this program will have the opportunity to apply the principles of public health and healthcare program planning; design, execute and manage the evaluation of health programs; develop research ethics protocols; critically analyze health and healthcare policy; and more (see learning outcomes below).

Coursework competed in this program can be used as credit toward the Public Health Specialization in the Master of Science (Health Sciences) or the PhD degree (Population Studies in Health) for students who later decide to pursue in one of these programs.

International Students: Please be advised that due to the part-time nature of this program, graduates will not be eligible to apply for a post-graduation work permit after completing this program. International students interested in this program are advised to contact the International Centre before submitting an application to this program.

Note: Health Services Management (HMGT) courses are delivered using a blended format with some face-to-face (sessions are offered on the Calgary campus for a total of 20 hours), and online in an asynchronous format (for a total of 16 hours). Students registering for any of the HMGT courses must attend the face-to-face sessions in Calgary.
