Who Should Apply?

Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, dentists, veterinarians, administrators, and other personnel who are looking for a broad introduction to healthcare quality and safety and to develop practical skills for leading improvements in the healthcare delivery system are encouraged to apply.

The Healthcare Quality & Safety Certificate program is ideal for individuals that seek knowledge and skills in quality improvement and patient safety, but not the time commitment of a masters program.

Applicants must:

• be working professionals in a healthcare setting, for at least two years, and be able to participate in on-campus courses and activities in Philadelphia. The program is not accepting international students at this time.
• have at least a Bachelor’s degree
