Healthcare Management

Overview

About the program

Frequently, health care professionals are taking supervisory roles in their employment environments.  This Certificate will enhance the readiness of these professionals to assume these roles by giving them an expanded foundation on business skills that will serve to augment their professional program education.  This certificate serves as an excellent adjunct to the student already admitted into a health degree program or as a stand-alone option for any wishing to seek short term skill enhancement.

Much of the core curriculum within these programs will then go to the next level and deal with concepts of business operations, staff management, organizational behavior, and strategic management. The concentration courses are then put in place to deal with many of the specific needs of the manager in the healthcare industry.
