Health Services Management

Co-op Students:​

Co-op students are required to complete at least two out of three work terms in the Health Services Management field.​

​

Part-time/Accelerated/MBA (without Co-op):​

Eligible individuals who have a minimum of one year of work experience in a health services setting are able to take the Health Services Management specialization of the MBA program.​

​Disclaimer: Before a student can register for the Health Services Management specialization, an Academic Advisor needs to make sure they meet additional requirements. Contact the Academic Advising team if you’d like to choose the HSM specialization. 

Careers:​

The competent professional health services manager is a critical element in the framework of effective and efficient delivery of health services. Such individuals need solid management grounding in the fundamentals of planning, operations and evaluation, and a broad orientation to the realities, limitations, and potentialities of our health “system”.​

​

The underlying assumption of this specialization is that a solid MBA training, including selected graduate courses in health services, coupled with a range of work term experiences in the health sector designed with specific educational objectives, will produce a unique graduate with accelerated capabilities in the health services field. The health services management (HSM) specialization also provides the added benefit of preparing students for a career and certification as a Certified Health Executive (CHE), Canada’s only professional credential available to health leaders, under the DeGroote School of Business’ strategic alliance with the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL).​

​

For those who choose Co-op, the work-study nature of the MBA Co-op program is an excellent educational format. The three work terms provide a 12-month “residency” training period as an integral part of the total educational experience. To the extent possible, the work term sites and activities are based on the student’s interests and needs. During each work term, the student receives on-the-job training under the guidance of a supervisor (preceptor) from the work setting.

​

This specialization provides students in the full-time and Co-op option a fast-track opportunity to earn the MBA degree and CHE designation. Students who enroll in the strategic alliance must complete the CHE program requirements within three years from the date of enrollment.​
