Gender and Health Certificate Program

The Certificate Program in Gender and Health will provide concrete training in gender and health with particular focus on gender theories, gender analysis, gender-based violence research methods, gender and sexuality, gender and women’s health, gender and men’s health, and intersectionality. Gender as applied to public health is a burgeoning field, and many NGOs and multi-lateral organizations have specific gender specialist positions; this Certificate Program is designed to give students the knowledge and skills to work in this area.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of the certificate program, students will be able to:

1. Explain the role of gender in shaping health inequities and recognize how gender health inequities affect health research and interventions.
2. Apply gender analysis and gender concepts to leading related health topics related to women’s, men’s and people with other gender identities’ health, including sexual/reproductive health and gender-based violence.
3. Incorporate gender analysis into health research and interventions.
