The Graduate Certificate in Health Communication program delivers core media skills to help you become an effective communicator across health and medicine, public affairs, public relations, community relations and journalism.
Do you want to make a difference to people’s health and wellbeing? Are you passionate about communicating about health issues?
Designed for aspiring and experienced communicators, health advocates, public relations specialists, media experts, and healthcare professionals, the Master of Health Communication encourages skills development in:
− clear communication of public health campaigns and policy topics
− creation of public education programs that nurture a more healthcare-literate population
− the ability to raise awareness of, and advocate for, specific healthcare matters
− management of communication technology, including social media, to ensure information accuracy and uphold ethical standards
While our students come from different disciplines and career stages, all are motivated to make a difference in people’s health and wellbeing.
