Fordham University’s Gabelli Graduate School of Business will launch a post-master’s health care certificate program at its Westchester campus in West Harrison this fall, the school recently announced.
A weekend program, Palliative and Long-Term Care: A Public-Health Approach will focus on the challenges health care employees face in caring for the seriously ill and dying. Those who enroll can choose concentrations in gerontology, public health, palliative care or long-term care.
The program is open to health care and corporate leaders, professionals and managers, and health researchers and educators.
The first weekend-intensive program runs Oct. 16 to Oct. 19 and the second runs from Feb. 12 to Feb. 15. Tuition is $2,700 per person, $2,500 for Fordham alumni.
Mary Beth Morrissey, founder and president of the Collaborative for Palliative Care, an organization working to improve care of the seriously ill, is the organizer and founder of the weekend program.
The program’s faculty also includes WESTMED Medical Group Medical Director Emeritus Barney D. Newman as well as Fordham professors in social work, psychology, English, health systems management and public health.
