Certificate in Global Public Health

This certificate program, offered at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, will help you address the health challenges that have arisen with increasing globalization. As the world becomes more interconnected, governments and non-governmental organizations have changed the ways they tackle health issues like HIV/AIDS, communicable diseases, malnutrition, diabetes, and access to medical care. In this program, you'll learn how to address global health disparities on community and systems levels.
