Health Care Management and Leadership Certificate: Leading with Excellence
The Health Care Management and Leadership certificate provides students with both the theoretical knowledge associated with health care management and leadership plus a set of practical tools to aid in the challenges faced or may be faced in this dynamic industry. Through real world scenarios of how to incorporate solutions and weekly health care related current events discussions, students are able to gain more than a clinical perspective into the world of healthcare management.
As an added perk, once you apply for a certificate you are accepted into Ashland University's MBA program and can continue taking courses toward your MBA degree.
