Interprofessional Healthy Aging (Graduate Certificate)

This certificate program prepares professionals to address healthy aging with a focus on prevention and early intervention to optimize the health, behavioral health and quality of life of older adults and their family caregivers. The program provides students with interdisciplinary knowledge that focuses on improving the well-being of diverse older persons, in the context of their families and communities. The curriculum is based on the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education's Competencies for Graduate Education and addresses the multidimensional aging process, the needs of aging populations, and their potential contributions; reflects national health initiatives; and encourages interprofessional and community collaborations that are reciprocal, beneficial and sustainable to improve health outcomes. Those who complete the program can apply for recognition as a gerontological coordinator by the National Association for Professional Gerontologists, an independent international professional organization.
