Certificate in Aboriginal Health and Community Administration [University of British Columbia, UBC]

Developed by the UBC Institute for Aboriginal Health and UBC Continuing Studies, this award-winning certificate program is designed to help those who work in Aboriginal communities to increase the community’s capacity to deliver services, coordinate programs and promote the health of their people. The program expands its focus beyond health delivery to include environmental and other community health issues. The UBC Certificate in Aboriginal Health and Community Administration (AHCAP) is a ten-month program consisting of five residency weekends at UBC (usually once every two months) with online assignments and discussions completed in between by students from their home communities. The program’s format features peer learning through online discussions to develop team-building skills, shared learning opportunities and a supportive environment.
