The new partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in the health leadership field and provide the students in the program with advanced standing to the Certified Health Executive (CHE) Program.
Alison College has signed a new strategic alliance 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 Healthcare Management and Leadership Program will receive advanced standing to the LEADS in Action Project requirement and a reduced enrollment rate to the 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 collaboration with Alison College, who show their commitment to health leadership by committing to have the CHE as a preferred designation for their students. This is the first and only comprehensive diploma of its kind that combines business fundamentals with healthcare leadership skills and knowledge.”
“We are delighted to be entering into this partnership with the Canadian College of Health Leaders. This collaboration with CCHL and Alison College will provide our students with the opportunity to thrive in the Canadian Healthcare Management and Leadership field” said Erica Amery, Dean of Alison College. “Developing the skills, knowledge and attitudes of healthcare leaders through both the CHE and the Healthcare Management and Leadership diploma will prepare students to serve and meet the demands and challenges of the workforce and the community they serve.”
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.
