The Activity Professionals certificate allows the USI graduate to pursue a career working with the older adult population, specifically as an activity professional. The certificate increases student knowledge and marketability while supporting the workforce needs. This program is in full alignment with the Activity Professionals certification requirements of the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH). The state of Indiana requires each skilled nursing facility (SNF) and licensed residential care facility (RCF) or assisted living facility (ALF) to employ a certified activity professional, as cited in the Indiana Administrative Code sections 410 IAC 16.2-3.1-33 and 410 IAC 16.2-5-7.1.
