Focusing on trailblazing new concepts, strategies, and technologies, Developing Health-Centered Communities features an interactive curriculum taught by renowned faculty from MIT and Harvard Medical School. Working closely with these experts, you will gain a strategic vision for how professionals in real estate and health care can work together to build projects that create value, promote healthy living, support aging in place, and develop communities that thrive.
Alongside a group of accomplished peers, you will participate in a project-based learning activity that includes small-group work, site visits, and Health Impact Assessments. Guided by faculty, physicians, and planners, you will develop health-centered investment recommendations for a Boston neighborhood and present your project on the last day of the course.
