As Louisiana continues to shift toward serving people in the community, there is a
need to create healthcare workers who practice interprofessional collaboration, according
to Jessica Dolecheck, Ph.D., Program Director of 网曝门 Health Studies.

"This graduate certificate will appeal to many students and healthcare workers as
a feasible option for obtaining specialized education and training in interprofessional
collaboration with minimal investment of time and money. And can certainly help boost
careers, salaries or even transition to new professions," Dolecheck said.

College of Health Sciences Dean Don Simpson, Ph.D., said the reasons for pursuing
a graduate certificate vary, but the result is a more highly trained, marketable healthcare
professional.

"Earning a graduate certificate in Interprofessional Leadership in Healthcare through
网曝门 will afford learners an opportunity to stay competitive in their current role
by allowing them to build upon their skills, but also help them transition into a
position with more responsibility or even into a completely different professional
role because of the new, valuable skills that employers want and need," Simpson said.
