This course does not provide any CEUs or college credit. Please also note that this professional development course does not reflect the rigor or intensity of our UF Center for Arts in Medicine coursework for academic credit at the undergraduate or graduate level. Our asynchronous graduate courses are three-credit classes spanning over eight weeks and are led by an instructor with weekly assignments, discussions, and deadlines. Rather, the look and feel of Creating for the Health of It resembles a short professional development or continuing education course

Refunds are not possible, so please ensure you've communicated with us prior to registering for this course.
