Healthcare Law Certificate

The Healthcare Law Certificate at the University of Lynchburg equips you with a foundational understanding of health law, compliance, and legal risk management. Healthcare professionals today need more than just clinical skills—they also need to understand the laws and rules that affect their work. 

Through this program you can develop the legal literacy and critical thinking you need to make smart decisions with legal confidence.

Explore the legal aspects of healthcare management, healthcare compliance, and the strategic integration of legal thinking into decision-making. You’ll develop skills in interpreting law, developing policies, and reducing legal liability in healthcare settings.

This certificate is available through the University of Lynchburg Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) program. It serves as an excellent introduction to the doctoral program or can complement and expand your current or previous doctoral studies.

Instruction Method:
    • 100% Online and Asynchronous 
Prerequisite:
    • Prior completion of a master’s degree.
