The American Indian Public Health and Wellness certificate prepares students to understand how to work respectfully and effectively with Tribes and American Indian communities, to understand the basis of health services, and study the implication of specific local and federal laws to improve the health issues currently experienced by American Indians.
Students from all races, cultures, and experience are welcome to pursue the certificate. While the focus is on American Indians, there are advantages to learning accurate history, other health models, innovative health services, and the importance of using a holistic approach of health and wellness for all populations. Increasing the knowledge of health professionals (e.g., state, federal, educational institutions and private public health employees) and increasing a culturally prepared workforce is the aim of this certificate.
The School of Public Health is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).
