Need targeted clinical skills without committing to a full multi-month program right away? Build your own custom learning path. Take individual, bite-sized modules to solve your immediate practice challenges—or bundle them.
The Center for Integrated Primary Care (CIPC) offers individual modules to better serve the real-world constraints and learning needs of busy healthcare professionals. These are the same modules in the full PCBH certificate program.
-
Flexibility for Busy Schedules: Some clinicians often don't have time to complete a full 36-hour PCBH certificate program all at once due to demanding patient care schedules. Individual modules allow learners to move at their own pace without a long-term time commitment.
-
Just-in-Time Skill Acquisition: Providers frequently encounter specific clinical challenges in primary care—such as handling acute suicidality, navigating EHR documentation, or applying single-session interventions. Buying standalone modules allows clinicians to target exact knowledge gaps immediately when they need them for practice.
-
Lower Financial Barrier: Offering modules individually makes high-quality training accessible to clinicians working with limited professional development budgets or out-of-pocket funds.
-
Modular, Stackable Learning: Learners can try a single topic first to evaluate the curriculum before committing to additional parts or bundle multiple modules into one transaction to save money.
- The modules are broken into 3 different parts. You can select any module(s) in any part that interests you. After enrollment, you will have 3 months of access to the module. We use the learning management system (LMS), Canvas
- Each module is $125
- Each module is about 1 hour in length
- You will have access to one optional drop-in Office Hours via Zoom
- Modules are on-going open enrollment - you can enroll at any time and begin right away
