Renewed partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in the health leadership field through the School’s MBA and Global Executive MBA in Healthcare and the Life Sciences programs.
The University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management has renewed its strategic alliance and LEADS certification with the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) to increase the leadership capabilities of healthcare managers in Canada.
Through this agreement, participants in the Rotman School’s Global Executive Master of Business Administration in Healthcare and the Life Sciences (GEMBA-HLS), Full Time Master of Business Administration (MBA), and Morning & Evening MBA, will work towards obtaining their Certified Health Executive (CHE) designation, the only certification program for all Canadian health leaders. Similar to the benefits of Rotman’s MBA programs, 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 the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, who show their commitment to health leadership by committing to our strategic alliance, offering the GEMBA-HLS program, and also the Fellow in Health Sector Management.”
Professor Brian Golden, the Sandra Rotman Chair in Health Sector Strategy and the Academic Director of the GEMBA-HLS program said: “Healthcare is the world’s biggest industry, and with advances in science and technology, and a global appetite for better, more accessible and sustainable healthcare, the opportunities for health system leaders are limitless.”
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 healthcare system.
