The Certificate Program for the Spine Healthcare Professional is an assessment-based certificate program that uses instructional design principles to deliver an online self-study educational course followed by post-assessments. This course will equip participants with the tools to safely care for patients with spinal disease or injury, while providing quality care demanded by healthcare organizations, regulatory agencies, and customers. The primary purpose of this certificate program is to provide foundational knowledge and evidence-based care for patients who have disease or injury of the spine, and require medical and/or surgical treatment.
