As a result of COVID-19 pandemic, the delivery of healthcare via telehealth platforms has exploded across all health-related disciplines. With this increased need for virtual health services will be a need for health professionals of all disciplines to be properly trained to administer care virtually while maintaining a high level of quality care, and protecting and securing electronic health information.

Most industries these days require that employees gain new skillsets, but it's not always the right time to pursue a graduate degree. Certificates of completion allow students to increase expertise (and value to their employer) in a quantifiable way at what is often a lower cost and lower time commitment than a formal degree.
In addition to its immediate benefits, certificates of completion can also be a stepping stone into a Master's degree. Students completing a certificate can easily transfer their credits into the MHI program, gaining familiarity with the instructors and general material that make for an exceptionally smooth graduate experience.
