The Hispanic Serving Healthcare Professionals certificate explores the healthcare needs of, and barriers to, the Hispanic community. It will prepare interdisciplinary learners to recognize the community’s unique needs in professional allied health practices, influence change in both practice and policy to eliminate disparities and improve patient outcomes, and provide culturally congruent care through linguistically and culturally supportive resources. Qualified completing students may seek national medical translator certification.
