The new Master of Health Industry Administration (MHIA) program at York University's Schulich School of Business been accredited by the Canadian College of Health Leaders, allowing graduates to work toward obtaining the Canadian health executive (CHE) designation.
Being accredited by the Canadian College of Health Leaders reflects the MHIA program's commitment to excellence and alignment with health industry standards. It also solidifies Schulich's position as a leading institution in health-care leadership education, providing students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in their careers and make meaningful contributions to the industry.
"This accreditation signifies the quality and rigour of our MHIA program," says Amin Mawani, the program director. "We're proud to offer our graduates the opportunity to attain the valued CHE designation and further advance their careers in health-care leadership."
After a meticulous review of the MHIA program's curriculum, the Canadian College of Health Leaders confirmed its alignment with the Leadership for Evidence-Based Decision Making (LEADS) framework - a nationally recognized leadership development model in health care. This means Schulich's MHIA graduates will have advanced standing in the CHE designation process.
Beyond helping health-care leaders stand out among their peers, the CHE designation includes support for lifelong learning and assistance with career advancement.
Schulich has been developing health industry leaders for the past two decades, through the health industry specialization in its Master of Business Administration program and through innovative executive development programs offered by Schulich ExecEd and the school's new MHIA degree.
