The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice Professional Education and Non-Degree Programs

The TDI Certificate in the Fundamentals of Value-Based Health Care

The Certificate is designed for working health care professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge of value-based care and incorporate innovative skills and solutions in their current practice/field. The program's theoretical underpinnings stem from TDI's core competencies and advanced research expertise in health care outcomes.

TDI is dedicated to fostering value-based improvement of health care delivery—achieving better outcomes for the same or lower costs—that is both scientifically and ethically sound, and sustainable. The TDI Certificate prepares health care professionals to understand and navigate the challenges of patient-centered, high-value health care. Courses, led by TDI faculty, are learner-focused—our faculty work with you to address your professional learning needs.

The certificate is comprised of 5 sequential required courses, each approximately 8 weeks in length.

Our 2013 program is full. Applications for our 2014 cohort will be available in January 2014. Please request an e-mail notification when the application is available by filling out the form (at right).
