Graduate Certificate in Participatory Health Research
The Graduate Certificate in Participatory Health Research confirms the completion of graduate level training in the rationale, theoretical underpinnings, methods, and applications of community based participatory health research (CBPR) and patient centered outcomes research (PCOR). Community based participatory approaches are innovative methods that intersect with patient centered outcomes. When used together, CBPR and PCOR, there is significant potential for patient empowerment, enhancement of patient care, and improved population health outcomes. A collaborative effort between the Sinclair School of Nursing, Department of Family and Community Medicine, School of Social Work, and the Masters in Public Health program, individuals completing the Graduate Certificate in Participatory Health Research will gain highly valued skills necessary to conduct clinical research in partnership with a community. Participatory Health Research methods are ideal for addressing patient-centered questions related to informed choices, health outcomes, and quality of life. This graduate certificate is open to all health-related professions. These innovative types of research skills traditionally have not been included in health-related graduate program curricula.
