Sarah Lawrence College's Health Programs Bronxville, NY http://www.slc.edu/health-programs/
Sarah Lawrence College leads the way in helping students prepare for cutting-edge careers in research, clinical service and policy. With our new certificate programs in Public Health Genetics/Genomics and Applied Research Ethics and our pioneering Health Advocacy and Human Genetics master's programs, Sarah Lawrence is the place to be for a timely and rewarding educational experience. NEW! Public Health Genetics/Genomics Certificate Program As health and illness become increasingly “geneticized” and as DNA technologies allow screening for genetic conditions to become more common, professionals trained in public health genomics will be essential to ensuring the translation of research into practice at both the individual and societal levels. The next session will take place September 27–30 (application deadline: 8/31). NEW! Applied Research Ethics Certificate Program The increasingly complex research arena needs health professionals who can knowledgeably work on issues both from within and from outside the healthcare system—in clinical settings, with disease-specific groups, with research organizations, in oversight agencies and local communities. Apply now to participate in the first session, January 8–12, 2007. Human Genetics Program In 1969, Sarah Lawrence College established the first program in human genetics in the country. It remains the largest in the country and has trained half of the nation's genetic counselors, including the directors of many human genetics programs in the U.S. and Canada. The program strives to identify and train future genetic counselors who diversify the professional community and represent minority populations. Health Advocacy Program In 1980, Sarah Lawrence College established the nation's first master's degree program in health advocacy. It has played a leading role in defining this new field and in educating professionals who work to improve health care and ensure access to an increasingly complex system. The program meets the educational requirements for rewarding careers in this emerging field.
