Graduate Certificate in Care of Vulnerable Populations

Program Overview

Advance your career in health care or social services with a two-semester post-graduate certificate. Gain the skills to support aged and terminally ill clients and their families, ensuring they live as independently as possible with compassionate, quality care.

  • Learn how to effectively communicate with aging and palliative patients as well as with health care team members.
  • Study how individuals cope with pain as well as appropriate measures for providing comfort and pain management to the terminally ill and their families within your scope of practice.
  • Become familiar with ethical, legal and spiritual considerations with regard to the care of vulnerable populations, and develop an understanding of individual and multicultural approaches to aging, death, dying and grieving.
  • Apply theory and concepts as related to caring for vulnerable populations and palliative patients through a combination of a clinical practicum and immersive simulation.
