DMSc Certificate Programs

Whether you’re looking to deepen your knowledge in a focused area or enhance your Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) experience, the University of Lynchburg’s doctoral-level certificate programs offer the flexibility and specialization to match your professional goals.

Each certificate can be completed as a standalone credential, making them ideal for licensed PAs seeking targeted expertise without committing to a full degree program. Alternatively, these certificates can be seamlessly integrated into your DMSc journey through the Doctor of Medical Science Plus (DMSc+) track, allowing you to customize your doctoral experience while earning valuable, career-advancing expertise.

Earn up to 20 AAPA Category 1 CME credits in each certificate course and 60 credits for each certificate! By completing coursework and post-course evaluations, students can earn both their certificate and significant continuing education credit.*
