Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Management (GCHM)

We are excited to introduce the online Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Management (GCHM). This is a joint initiative, unique in its genre, between the McGill Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Desautels Faculty of Management that will be starting on January 10th, 2022. This certificate was developed in order to address important gaps in the formal managerial training of healthcare professionals assuming leadership positions. Seasoned professors will teach a curriculum that has been mapped to address the key competencies of the Leader Role in the CANMEDS educational framework of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Both Faculties have been closely involved with course design and will continue to provide significant academic insights that contextualize student learning for the healthcare sector.The Certificate program is an entirely virtual, live offering consisting of four modules spread over 9 months. The program will be supported through readings, individual and group assignments, and workshops, all of which will bridge the four modules. Typically, the material for each course will be delivered over two sequential periods, with the intention of reinforcing key concepts taught in the first module through individual study and group work. Each student will also participate in an experiential (CAPSTONE) project throughout the certificate program, which serves to reinforce the material presented in each course. The topic of the project may be identified before the start of the course and could take the form of a business plan, quality improvement project, or position paper on a topic related to the learning in the program.
