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.

The fall session of our Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) training, designed for therapists, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and physicians, starts at the end of the month on September 28.

Ketamine has a long clinical history and growing research base, but most clinicians receive little or no formal ketamine therapy training and aren’t confident in how to integrate it into psychotherapy. This 8-week certificate closes that gap, giving participants the clinical knowledge, ethical framework, and business tools to confidently support clients through preparation, medicine, and integration sessions.

UVM's KAP program is structured for busy clinicians, providing the depth of an intensive with the flexibility of online learning, using a combination of lectures, case studies, peer discussions, and practical tools to give you both clinical and business foundations for offering KAP in your practice.

Here's something most people don't realize: menopause affects half the population, yet many people going through it struggle to find clear, reliable information and support.

If you've ever felt confused by conflicting advice about hot flashes, sleep disruptions, or hormone therapy—or wished you had someone who could actually explain what's happening in your body—you're not alone. Menopause is one of the most misunderstood stages of life, and too many people are navigating it without the guidance they deserve.

The UVM Menopause Care Professional Certificate was designed to close that gap, giving healthcare professionals the evidence-based knowledge and tools they need to provide confident, comprehensive menopause care.

This program is designed for the whole care team, including:
➤ Nurse practitioners, physicians, and physician assistants
➤ Physical therapists and registered dietitians
➤ Therapists, counselors, and wellness professionals

Here's what makes it work for busy schedules:
➤ 4 weeks, 100% online and fully asynchronous
➤ $725 tuition with 4.5 CEUs included
➤ Evidence-based curriculum covering HRT and non-hormonal care
➤ Taught by UVM Larner College of Medicine faculty, Dr. Karen George and Dr. Alexandra Fenton

You'll finish ready to answer your patients' questions with real confidence and become the menopause resource your community needs.

Answer your calling as an end-of-life doula and make a lasting impact in your community.

Begin your journey with one of UVM's End-of-Life Doula certificates being offered this fall, including Business Foundations, Grief & Bereavement, and End-of-Life Doula Professional Certificate. Here's what our instructors say about each course:

Business Foundations: "The business side of doula work isn’t separate from the care—it’s how we make the care sustainable. I’ve seen too many gifted doulas burn out or walk away because they lacked the confidence and structure needed to scale their business. I teach this course to help them stay in it—fully and authentically." - Sarah Hill, Instructor

Grief & Bereavement: "Grief makes people uncomfortable, and many don’t know what to do, so they back away from the griever to avoid doing the wrong thing. This course helps professionals and community leaders gain the confidence that the support they’re offering is meaningful while also helping others to feel more comfortable being around others who are grieving." - Matilda Garrido, Program Developer & Instructor

End-of-Life Doula Certificate: "Our role as doulas is to help families stretch their definition of a good moment, even in the hardest times" - Laura Delva, End-of-Life Doula Instructor

The fall registration deadline for these courses is September 21. Spots fill quickly - learn more and register: https://bit.ly/4oGyA0y

Dying with dementia is different. The care should be, too.

When a patient can no longer speak, behavior becomes their language. Grief begins long before the final goodbye. And decisions grow more complex as capacity fades.

Most standard dementia training was not built for these moments. It covers the essentials of daily care, but rarely the relational, communication, grief, and decision-making realities of the end of life.

That's the gap the new End-of-Life Dementia Care Professional Certificate from UVM is designed to close.

Built for hospice and palliative care professionals, nurses, social workers, chaplains, CNAs, and end-of-life doulas, this fully online program helps you:

→ Read behavioral and physical signals when words are gone
→ Support families through anticipatory grief and ambiguous loss
→ Navigate capacity and decision-making in advanced illness
→ Adapt vigil and legacy practices with care and dignity

Registration closes October 19. Read the new blog post and register for the certificate: https://bit.ly/4bfp9RO

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is one of the fastest-growing interventions for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and trauma.

Many practitioners lack the training to confidently integrate KAP into their practice, leaving clients without proper therapeutic support. UVM's Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Professional Certificate closes this gap.

In just 8 weeks, this fully online certificate equips licensed mental health professionals with the clinical knowledge, ethical framework, and business tools to support clients safely and effectively.

Program Highlights:
-Earn 8 CEUs through a flexible, asynchronous format
-Learn directly from a practicing KAP clinician
-Gain ready-to-use templates for informed consent, care planning, and risk management

The fall cohort starts September 28. Registration closes September 21.
