The renewed partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in the health leadership field
Ottawa – December 2022, The Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing (Bloomberg Nursing) at the University of Toronto, has renewed its strategic alliance and LEADS certification with the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) to increase the leadership capabilities of health care managers in Canada.
Through this agreement, participants in the Master of Nursing – Health Systems Leadership and Administration (MN – HSLA) program can work towards obtaining their Certified Health Executive (CHE) designation, the only certification program for Canadian health leaders. This program offers individual leaders several benefits including support for lifelong learning in health services leadership; assistance with career advancement; peer recognition and serves as an essential career designation.
Brenda Lammi, Vice President, Leadership and Professional Development at CCHL, said: “We are excited about this renewed collaboration with Bloomberg Nursing’s Master of Nursing Program as it shows their commitment to health leadership by committing to incorporating the LEADS framework into their curriculum and having the CHE as a preferred designation for their students.”
“Bloomberg Nursing has a legacy of educating and developing nurse leaders who respond to the shifting landscape of healthcare in Canada. Now more than ever, the healthcare sector needs effective, dynamic leadership who will participate in the transformation and improvement of our healthcare system. Our continued collaboration with CCHL strengthens our ability to meet the ongoing need for the development of health leaders,” says Linda Johnston, Dean and Professor at Bloomberg Nursing.
This collaboration will also allow for both organizations to better address the constantly evolving needs of health leaders and align themselves with the LEADS in a Caring Environment framework. This framework is a foundation for Canadian health leadership development and defines the knowledge, skills and attitudes a leader must have to positively contribute to the Canadian health care system.
