Program details

Overview

The Equity in Healthcare Certificate is a part-time online program of six six-week courses, developed with the Provincial Health Services Authority, that teaches healthcare professionals to create inclusive environments and deliver culturally informed, equitable care. Aimed at clinicians, leaders and administrators, courses are self-paced at roughly three to four hours per week, with course materials included in the fee.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission follows SFU Continuing Studies' standard certificate requirements rather than a programme-specific academic prerequisite. Applicants need Grade 12 or its equivalent; mature students who do not meet this standard may instead qualify with at least five years of appropriate experience. The programme's stated English Language Recommendation is an IELTS Academic overall band score of 6.5, set on SFU Continuing Studies' policies page it links to. There is no formal application deadline: applicants may register for individual courses first and apply to the certificate at any time, and a non-refundable $99 program application fee applies when the formal application is submitted.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, with one set of dates per applicant type rather than by citizenship. Fall 2027 entry: high-school-route applications open 1 October 2026 and close 31 January 2027, while transfer applications open 1 March 2027 and close 15 April 2027 (Education and Contemporary Arts transfer applicants may apply from 1 October 2026).
