As Director of the ERHD Program, I am delighted to announce that our program is accepting applications from qualified graduate professionals for the Spring 2016 Admissions. The ERHD graduate certificate online program in ethnic and rural health disparities at East Carolina University uses the latest online technology to assist medical health professionals and public health administrators in not only obtaining additional expertise in ethnic and rural health disparities but also in developing culturally competent solutions for specific health disparity populations.
The three major objectives for the certificate program are to get graduates to:
1. Identify ethnic and rural health disparity issues;
2. Analyze more comprehensively ethnic and rural health issues; and
3. Develop more culturally competent projects, plans and policies that are designed for specific ethnic and rural communities in the United States and communities around the world.
To obtain a graduate certificate in ethnic and rural health disparities, completion of 12 credit hours is required. The ERHD program consists of four online courses:
1. MPH 6005 African American Health
2. MPH 6007 Global Public Health
3. MPH 6008 Ethnic Health & Health Disparities
4. MPH 6009 Capstone Experience in Ethnic Health & Health Disparities
