The healthcare corporate compliance graduate certificate program is offered by the College of Professional Studies and the Milken Institute School of Public Health. The program offers a comprehensive corporate compliance education. Drawing from both GW's Department of Health Policy and leading healthcare law firms in Washington, DC, the program offers education in healthcare laws and regulations as well as tools and strategies for creating effective corporate compliance programs.
Designed for working professionals, the 12-credit graduate certificate in healthcare corporate compliance is open to current or aspiring corporate compliance officers. The course of study, offered in just over seven months, is divided into three segments:
- Residency at GW's Graduate Education Center in Alexandria, Virginia (three credits)
- Six-month Online Distance Learning segment (six credits)
- Three-day Capstone Residency back in Alexandria, Virginia (three credits)
The credits earned through the graduate certificate may be applied toward the face-to-face or online MPH degree in health policy, the MHA in health services management & leadership, or the MS in health policy for those students who meet the applicable admissions criteria. Credits may also be applied to the MPS in paralegal studies with a concentration in healthcare corporate compliance.
The graduate certificate is accredited by the Compliance Certification Board (CCB) and is offered in partnership with the law firm of Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP.
