University of Ottawa’s Telfer School of Management and CCHL Renew Three-Year Strategic Alliance Agreement
The renewed partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in the health leadership field and provide the students in the University of Ottawa’s Telfer School of Management MHA/EMHA programs an expedited and a cost-effective pathway to the Certified Health Executive (CHE) Program.
The University of Ottawa’s Telfer 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, students in the University of Ottawa’s Telfer School of Management MHA/EMHA programs will receive advanced standing towards the LEADS Learning Series and the LEADS in Action Project within the CHE Program. The CHE designation is the only national 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.
Stephan (Steve) Plourde, CHE, Chief Operating Officer at CCHL, said: “The Canadian College of Health Leaders is proud to reaffirm its partnership with the University of Ottawa’s Telfer School of Management. Together, we remain committed to fostering leadership that drives measurable impact within our health systems.”
Stéphane Brutus, Dean of the Telfer School of Management added, “This renewed alliance with CCHL strengthens how we prepare health leaders. By offering advanced standing and a more streamlined pathway to the CHE Program, we’re helping experienced professionals elevate their impact—backed by the national LEADS framework.”
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.
