Renewed partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in the health leadership field
Edmonton/Ottawa – Athabasca University (AU) is excited to announce a renewed strategic alliance with the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL). The Faculty of Business’ Master of Business Administration (MBA) for Health Leaders program at AU will help to enhance the leadership capabilities of healthcare managers in Canada.
Through this agreement, participants in the MBA for Health Leaders program will work towards obtaining their Certified Health Executive (CHE) designation, the only certification program for all 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 also serves as an essential career designation.
“We are excited about this collaboration with Athabasca University,” said Brenda Lammi, Vice President, Leadership and Professional Development at the CCHL. “They show their commitment to health leadership by committing to have the CHE as a preferred designation for their students.”
“The renewal of our partnership with the CCHL is great news,” said Farid Noordin, Manager, Strategic Recruitment and Enrolment with the Faculty of Business at Athabasca University. “Both AU and CCHL are committed to developing strategic business leaders who are lifelong learners and become high impact leaders in Canadian healthcare.”
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.
