A Certificate in Health and Hospital Law will be awarded upon completion of three courses.  You must take any three courses listed above, in any order you choose.

Materials for the certificate programs are drawn from a broad range of statutory and regulatory texts, agency guidance documents, enforcement actions, settlement agreements, judicial decisions, and expert commentary. Through a series of multimedia presentations, guided discussions and individually supervised writing projects, students learn to interpret legal documents and assess their practical implications for healthcare providers.

All of our graduate certificate courses offer intensive, individualized feedback, as well as an opportunity to develop the practical skills necessary to research and communicate effectively about the law.
