Program Details

As the American population ages, there is an increasing need for professionals in the aging sector to better understand the legal and ethical issues that surround working in later-in-life, long-term care, as well as the ways that technology is changing how healthcare is monitored and delivered to seniors.

Coursework in this certificate reflects an innovative, multidisciplinary collaboration from academics across the University of Arizona in law, the health sciences, social and behavioral sciences, engineering and psychiatry, along with the UA Center on Aging. This innovative format reflects the cross-disciplinary nature of the growing aging sector and will prepare you to excel in the field.

As a graduate of this program, you will have employable skills necessary to succeed in this multifaceted, highly-regulated field, including the ability to identify areas of potential legal risk and effectively communicate with older adults, legal counsel, regulatory agencies, ethics committees and risk management.

The certificate consists of four courses, which can be completed in less than eight months. Credits earned in this program may be applied to the Master of Legal Studies with a Concentration in Health Law & Policy.
