Public Health Certificate
Residents in the UNM Family Medicine program are offered the opportunity to complete a Certificate in Public Health. The 15 course credits required for the Certificate are equivalent to one-third of the credits required for a Masters in Public Health. The Certificate has been created to emphasize the importance the residency program places upon public health skills and knowledge. These credits fit into the existing 3-year residency curriculum. They include:
- Principles of Public Health for Clinicians (3 credits)
- Epidemiology (3 credits)
- Biostatistics (1 credit)
- Evidence-based Medicine (1 credit)
- Health Policy and Advocacy (3 credits)
- Community Project (2 credits)
- Public Health Elective (2 credits)
Residents are paired with faculty mentors from the clinical and public health faculty to assist with coordinating their schedule and facilitating completion of the Certificate.
