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.
Toronto / Ottawa, ON - The University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management has renewed its 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 Rotman School’s Full Time Master of Business Administration (MBA), Morning & Evening MBA, and Global Executive Master of Business Administration in Healthcare and the Life Sciences (GEMBA-HLS) programs receive credit for their MBA coursework towards obtaining their Certified Health Executive (CHE) designation. Similar to the MBA, 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 the CCHL, said: “We are excited about this collaboration with the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, who shares our commitment to developing health leaders.”
Brian Golden, Vice-Dean and Sandra Rotman Chair in Health Sector Strategy adds: ““We’ve long held the view that the challenges facing our health system won’t be solved by simply pumping more money in to it --- and indeed, we all recognize there’s a limit to that. The success of our system depends on outstanding leaders and effective coordination among stakeholders.”
This collaboration will also allow both organizations to address the constantly evolving needs of health leaders and positively contribute to the Canadian health care system.
