The renewed partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in the health leadership field

The University of British Columbia’s Master of Health Administration (MHA) program has renewed its strategic alliance and LEADS certification with the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) to increase the leadership capabilities of health care managers in Canada.

The UBC MHA program is unique, being one of only two academic programs within Canada meeting all the Certified Health Executive (CHE) Program requirements. The CHE is 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 serves as an essential career designation.

Brenda Lammi, Vice President, Leadership and Professional Development at CCHL, said: “We are excited about this renewed collaboration with UBC’s MHA program who show their commitment to health leadership by committing to incorporating the LEADS framework into their curriculum and having the CHE as a preferred designation for their students.”

UBC MHA Director, Dr. Nick Bansback, said: “The MHA program has become one of the most respected health leadership programs in the country, and our collaboration with CCHL and integration of the LEADS framework has been a critical path to this success”.

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.
