Literature documents the lack of disability content in public health programs and highlights the UConn Certificate of Interdisciplinary Disability Studies in Public Health as a model. Since 2014, over 100 students representing 14 unique disciplines have taken at least one course in the online Certificate. The purpose of this study is to measure the effectiveness of the Certificate course content as it relates to knowledge gained and future employment.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 1: Postsecondary Education & Disability Studies
