Make a Difference in Rural Health
Rural communities face unique healthcare challenges and need professionals who know how to address them. UC's online Associate of Applied Science in Rural Population Health program prepares students to engage with rural communities and promote public health initiatives specific to populations with unique cultural and population dynamics. Students can earn their doula certification while learning how to improve health outcomes through prevention, education, outreach, and community-based public health initiatives.

The doula course is not limited to students completing the Associate of Applied Science in Rural Population Health.
