Professional Learning
Build on Your Health Literacy Foundation and Transform Your Career
Nearly 9 out of every 10 adults (88%) lack the necessary skills to fully understand health information and effectively navigate health systems. At IHA, we believe everyone deserves to understand their health information regardless of language, literacy, or background. That’s why we create practical tools and training to help healthcare teams communicate more effectively.
Explore courses, certificate programs, micro-credentials, and workshops designed to help you strengthen your health literacy skills and apply them with confidence. From foundational knowledge to advanced strategies, each offering is built for professionals who want to make a measurable difference.
IHA’s professional development programs are selectively developed for healthcare professionals based on practical integration of health literacy principles. Each program is curated by specialized subject matter experts (SMEs) to build knowledge and skills to master evidence-based health literacy.
