Graduiertenzertifikat in Gesundheitsdienstleistungsmanagement

This graduate certificate program provides basic management knowledge for practitioners and entry-level managers in the health sector. The focus is on providing students with the knowledge necessary to enter a management position in the Canadian healthcare system. The GCHSM is available for students who wish to increase their knowledge level but may be unable to, or are cautious about, committing to a full Master’s degree.

The GCHSM is a cohort-based, part-time program that is offered at the Calgary campus of the University of Lethbridge. The program will be delivered in a compressed, weekend format using a combination of blended learning techniques, distance delivery and residential (face-to-face) sessions. The delivery model allows students to attend school while continuing to work. This is a particularly important feature for students who must maintain practice credentials.

Upon successful completion of the GCHSM, eligible students may apply to have their courses laddered into the Master of Health Services Management program.

International Applicants: Due to the part-time nature of this program, please note that graduates will not be eligible to apply for a post-graduation work permit after completing this program.
