Graduate Certificate in Health Care Administration Management

Program Overview

The Health Care Administration Management program is a business program that will provide students with previous education/experience in health care with business and leadership fundamentals. The program provides the skills necessary to work within the Canadian health care system. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics in business through the lens of health care.


You will develop skills in the areas of finance, human resources, operations, management, leadership, research and reporting, and strategic thinking. You will study privacy, ethics, communications and patient care concerns as they relate to the Canadian health care system.


The Health Care Management program is designed as a four-semester program for international college or university graduates from the healthcare field or from other disciplines. Within the first semester, students will learn about the Canadian health system, health care providers, and agents. It will inform students about the various provincial and federal bodies involved. 


Students will then implement their previous experience within health sciences to advance their knowledge on health care management, reporting tools, legal and ethical issues, database management, quantitative and qualitative research methods, and employee relations.
