鈥淎lthough I did not come from an architecture or design background, the health care design certificate program taught me a significant number of concepts that I have been able to apply in my career. Form and function need to work together in our modern world and keeping up with evidence-based design can make life easier and safer for patients and practitioners, alike. Pairing this certificate with my Master of Public Health tied the subject matter together seamlessly and I now recognize design and health working together every time I go to work. I really enjoyed my experience with the certificate program and encourage others to give it a try.鈥
