Partnering together to bring healthcare leaders the best in leadership development, training, and certification.
Telfer Executive Programs (TEP) has signed a new strategic alliance with the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) to increase the leadership capabilities of healthcare professionals in Canada.
The new partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in the health leadership field, uniting Telfer’s incredible faculty and expertise in designing and delivering leadership development with CCHL’s globally-recognized expertise in certifying leaders to excel in the healthcare sector.
Through this agreement, participants in select healthcare-focused executive education programs delivered by TEP will receive full equivalence to the Certified Health Executive (CHE) designation, the only certification program for Canadian health leaders. This program offers individual leaders several benefits, including support for lifelong learning in health services leadership, assistance with career advancement, peer recognition, and an essential career designation.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Telfer Executive Programs, who continue to demonstrate their commitment to health leadership by recognizing the CHE as a preferred designation for their participants,” shared Brenda Lammi, Senior Vice President, Leadership and Professional Development at CCHL. “Through this partnership, program participants have the opportunity to graduate not only with a world-class executive education, but also with a CHE designation.”
“We’re proud to partner with the Canadian College of Health Leaders, whose work has long set the standard for leadership excellence across Canada’s health system,” said Jennifer Gordon, Executive Director at TEP. “This collaboration reflects our mutual dedication to developing capable, confident, and credentialed leaders. By aligning our executive education with the CHE designation, we’re giving participants a meaningful opportunity to amplify their impact with both professional recognition and practical leadership development.”
This collaboration will also allow for both organizations to better address the constantly evolving needs of health leaders and align themselves with the LEADS in a Caring Environment framework. This framework is a foundation for Canadian health leadership development and defines the knowledge, skills and attitudes a leader must have to positively contribute to the Canadian health care system.
