The Native American Health Sciences program at WSU is pleased and excited to announce that our Indigenous Health Perspectives Certificate is now open for registration. The Indigenous Healing Perspectives Certificate is an online educational program taught by regional Indigenous health leaders and educators.

This non-credit-bearing certificate is completely online and can be easily accessed. The 4 courses in the certificate are all asynchronous and content and assignments can be accessed at any time.

There are four courses in the Indigenous Healing Perspectives Certificate program. Students will receive their certificate upon satisfactory completion of all four courses and should expect to spend 3 hours per week in class with additional time spent on coursework outside of class. Each course is conducted over an eight-week period, with the entire certificate program designed to be completed in nine months.
