RED DEER- Starting in January of 2019, RDC will be adding to its growing list of available programs with a new Health Care Management Post-Diploma Graduate Certificate.

The program will have a business focus that will assist in developing effective supervisors and managers in health care.

“We are excited to offer this new 16-month certificate that prepares working health care professionals for management and leadership positions focused on best patient-centred practices within this evolving sector,” says Darcy Mykytyshyn, Dean of RDC’s Donald School of Business. “The program is designed for diploma or degree holders, applying foundational business concepts to the opportunities and challenges faced by a diverse group of health care organizations.”

With courses that include Health Care Policy, Employee Engagement and Financial Practice, graduates of the program will gain the knowledge and practical skills they need to move their organizations forward in a positive and productive manner.

As part of a well-rounded program, leaders and aspiring managers will study the impact of health care technology and processing of optimal patient-centred practices and health-related documentation.

Students will also build on their understanding of collaborative, efficient and culturally sensitive working environments.

“This new program is an example of looking to the future and building experiences that meet the needs of health care professionals by providing students with a strong foundation for a variety of gratifying careers in the health care management sector,” says Dr. Steve Lane, Associate Vice President Academic, Research, and Student Affairs. “As the College evolves into a comprehensive regional teaching university, we will continue to look at adding programs that will benefit students and stakeholders from across the region.”

The Health Care Management Post-Diploma Graduate Certificate will be delivered in a blended format, with online instruction supplemented by four weekends at RDC’s Donald School of Business.

Registration is currently open for the course.
