Expand your emotional care skillset with end-of-life care specialization certificates at the University of Vermont.

Certificates offered this fall include Pediatric End-of-Life Doula Specialist and End-of-Life Dementia Care.

Pediatric End-of-Life Specialist:
Death is universal, yet society often avoids conversations about dying—especially with children. Many professionals feel unprepared to face the unique emotional and developmental challenges of working with dying children and their families. This training prepares end-of-life specialists to navigate the emotional, developmental, and systemic complexities of pediatric cases.

End-of-Life Dementia Care:
Dementia often means years of decline, and with no treatment that cures or reverses dementia, families go without answers, and skilled professionals are left improvising. This dementia care training gives you the skills to read the signals, ease distress, and support families through a loss that starts long before the death.

Two proven advantages set the UVM Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Program apart.

A direct connection to The Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine at The University of Vermont, and an 83% medical school matriculation rate —nearly double the 43% national average.

One current med student said it best: "The connection to Larner was a real game-changer. It meant direct access to faculty, resources, and a clear pathway to approaching medical school. Combined with the advising, program structure, and tight-knit student community, I always felt on track and never alone in this journey."

Real support. Real access. Real results. 🎓🩺

Make a difference for yourself and others through impactful health and wellness certificates backed by an R1 research institution.

Two featured Health & Wellness Certificates offered through UVM this fall include:

S*x & Intimacy Foundations
It can be hard to discuss s*x, especially in healthcare and therapy settings. Without research-backed training as a clinician, discussing s*xuality and s*xual relationships can feel taboo or embarrassing. UVM's S*x and Intimacy Foundations for Professional Practice certificate helps you feel prepared to integrate s*x and intimacy topics into clinical, educational, or coaching settings with confidence and care.

Navigating Change & Life Transitions
Change is constant—but knowing how to navigate it? That's a skill you can learn. UVM's Navigating Change and Life Transitions Professional Certificate helps you guide others through life's biggest shifts while building your own resilience along the way.

AI is transforming industries, driving innovation, and helping organizations make smarter, data-driven decisions. But to truly harness that potential, today's managers and leaders need more than just one skill —they need both practical operating capability and strategic organizational direction.

That's why UVM offers two certificates designed to complement each other:

AI Operations Certificate — A 4-week, hands-on, instructor-led program that builds real AI fluency for your day-to-day work.

AI Strategy Certificate — Equips leaders to align AI initiatives with broader business goals and drive long-term growth.

Many professionals start with Operations to build hands-on skills, then advance to Strategy to lead organization-wide transformation.

What does it mean to truly show up for someone at the end of life? 💛

We're proud to feature Virginia Chang, Ph.D.—recently spotlighted in The New Yorker—and an instructor in UVM's End-of-Life Doula Certificate program. In our new blog post, Virginia shares how she approaches this deeply human work, along with a candid Q&A about becoming an end-of-life doula.

Virginia is part of something bigger: a community of 5,000+ UVM doula certificate graduates who continue to support one another long after training ends—through alumni meetups, networking events, and a shared commitment to compassionate care.

Whether you're exploring a new calling or expanding your care skills, we think her story will move you. Read the full feature and Q&A on our blog. 👇

Transform the world with data mapping 🌎📍

If you’re data-savvy, fascinated by maps, and interested in using information to solve real-world problems, a career in geographic information systems (GIS) could be the right fit for you.

“GIS and geospatial analysis is a lot more than a map … a map is a product, but what we’re talking about is the integration of information and analysis of information. It’s a really powerful strategy to answer questions.”
— Gillian Glamor, GIS Certificate affiliated faculty

Through UVM’s GIS & Data Communication Certificate, you’ll learn how to capture, analyze, and manage location-based data using GIS software— building skills applicable across a wide range of careers and industries.

Graduates of our certificate go on to work as:
- Data scientists
- Business analysts
- Environmental scientists
- Urban planners
- Geologists
- And more

With flexible scheduling and start dates every semester, the program is designed to fit alongside your existing commitments.
