Interdisciplinary Women's Health
This certificate is offered to enhance knowledge, research and policy in women's health. The certificate is interdisciplinary in nature because by definition, the field of women's health encompasses the physical, cultural, mental and emotional aspects of health. These varied aspects of women's health cannot be well represented by just one discipline, either in the health or social sciences, or the humanities.
The certificate is offered to a variety of groups: graduate students in the health and social sciences, as well as experienced professionals in the health sciences and social services, health educators, social workers and others who wish to develop the skills needed to evaluate and utilize findings in women's health research, as well as articulate the varied aspects of women's health issues.
This Interdisciplinary Graduate Certificate is a cooperative program that includes the Colleges of Public Health, Arts & Sciences, Nursing, and Medicine.
The certificate is organized through a group of course tracks designed to offer professional and research-based options within the various disciplines. Each track has 5 courses with 3 additional options for electives. Applicants for the certificate should contact Ellen Daley, PhD (813-974-8518 or edaley@health.usf.edu) to discuss the various tracks in order to identify the most appropriate for their individual interests and skills. Signatures from two faculty members, Dr. Daley and an additional advisor from the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, are required for each person's plan of study.
Fifteen (15) credit hours are required for completion of this Certificate program.
The list of tracks follows and each one links to a table that clarifies the required and elective courses associated with each.
- Teaching Women's Health Courses in the Health Sciences
- Teaching Women's Health and/or Sexuality Courses in Arts and Sciences
