• Option 1: Required four-courses are embedded into the Ed.D. curriculum and degree program; all IDEPEL/Healthcare Education Ed.D. students receive the certificate as part of the program
• Option 2: Stand-alone four-course (12 credits) certification, with or without the option to count toward future Ed.D. degree completion
