Program Overview

With Northern’s graduate certificate in Health Care Management, you’ll be ready to take on a leadership role in just about any healthcare environment.

Leveraging your existing credentials, this two-year program provides an overview of the complex management and delivery systems we rely on. And then – by fostering effective leadership and problem-solving techniques, you can optimize day-to-day operations and outcomes for all stakeholders.

You’ll master the core concepts of care – including ethics, safety, and patient rights. You’ll learn the fundamentals of anatomy, medical terminology, and the IT systems that operate in healthcare environments.

And finally – before you go onto a career with a consulting firm, nursing home, hospital, clinic, or public health department – you’ll wrap up everything you’ve learned with a custom project that focuses on leadership in healthcare.

The Healthcare Management Program is designed for both domestic and international students with experience in the health care field who are seeking to enhance their existing post-secondary credentials and looking to transition into management roles in emerging healthcare environments, within the Ontario and Canadian healthcare context. Comprehension of patient needs, socio-cultural factors, behaviors and health services information are key focus areas of this program and will enable students to develop new skills in the areas of leadership, human resources management, conflict resolution, and strategic thinking.
