Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies for Health Professionals
This 4-unit course is open to all health professionals working in the field of addiction. The units cover epidemiology, theories of substance abuse, treatment approaches, assessment, identification of co-occurring disorders and interventions. Students are expected to apply the unit content to their practice as part of the assessment for the unit.
Graduate Certificate in Flexible Learning and Simulation
This 4-unit course is also open to all health professionals and has been established in response to a request from SNM partners. Two of the units make up part of the Clinical Nursing and Teaching stream in the Graduate Certificate in Nursing and credit would be available for new students who have already completed these units. The two additional units encourage students to create and deliver innovative approaches to online and simulated learning.
