The online Post Graduate Trauma Certificate (PGTC) is a continuing education certificate program that delivers a critical overview of trauma and a deep understanding of neurophysiology, trauma theory, and trauma treatment and how these concepts intersect. The PGTC has been developed for anyone with a graduate degree (master’s degree or higher) in fields of social work, counseling, human service and allied health professions who have interest in increasing knowledge and skills to deal with trauma and trauma recovery. This online certificate includes user-friendly, self-paced modules that incorporate videos, voice-over PowerPoint’s, downloadable articles, handouts, and quizzes. The PGTC contains cutting-edge information developed by clinical and research experts in the field of trauma care. As a continuing education certificate, participants do not apply to the graduate school, no grades are given, and therefore the certificate will not appear on your University of Tennessee, Knoxville transcript.
