McGill University, Graduate Certificate for Healthcare Management (GCHM) program and CCHL Renew Three-Year Strategic Alliance
The renewed partnership agreement promotes excellence in the health leadership field and provides the students in McGill University, Graduate Certificate for Healthcare Management (GCHM) program with an expedited and cost-effective pathway to the the Certified Health Executive (CHE) Program.
McGill University, Graduate Certificate for Healthcare Management (GCHM) program has renewed its strategic alliance with the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) to increase the leadership capabilities of health care managers in Canada.
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 continuation of our partnership with McGill University speaks to the strength of our collaboration and the tangible impact we are achieving together in advancing health leadership.
“This partnership strengthens our ability to equip healthcare professionals with the leadership capabilities needed to navigate an evolving system, while aligning with national frameworks that define excellence in health leadership”, said Yolande Chan, Dean of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University.
“This renewed partnership reflects our commitment to preparing future health leaders to meet the evolving needs of patients and communities”, said Dr. Lesley Fellows, Vice-President (Health Affairs) & Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
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.
