The 15-hour LGBTQ Health and Wellbeing Graduate Certificate Program will provide advanced education in LGBTQ health to graduate and post-doctoral students at UAB seeking to enhance their skills regarding LGBTQ-related research and advocacy. It will prepare students and future professionals to have an immediate impact on LGBTQ inequities in the Deep South and throughout the nation. Graduate students may choose between courses in counseling, human services, psychology, and health behavior. Students may choose from several online or classroom-based courses to meet the requirements for this program. All students will participate in a service-learning in-person course led by UAB faculty and staff from Birmingham AIDS Outreach.
