SHP Dean's Certificate in Health Literacy

The MU School of Health Professions has obtained a multi-year grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health to better educate health professional students about the health literacy of the individuals we serve.  This is in effort to improve their ability to understand and follow through with health care plans and obtain a better understanding of the many non-medical factors which affect health care. 

This certificate program is designed to cover Health Literacy from a number of perspectives, including Culture, Behavior, Ethics and many other aspects that go beyond the traditional scope of diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Brick Johnstone is Principal Investigator on this project and for more information about this certificate, please visit our Health Literacy Information Page
