Develop knowledge and expertise in the field of Health Administration, exclusively in an online format.
Overview
Learn and apply knowledge about management and leadership competencies needed in healthcare organizations, with a Northern, rural and Indigenous focus.
The Master of Health Administration is a unique, comprehensive, accessible graduate program. It is a partnership between the graduate Nursing and Master of Business Administration programs at 黑料吃瓜不打烊. The program was designed to meet the needs not only of nurses but all other healthcare providers who have transitioned to health administration. With an understanding that prospective students live in all areas of Canada from urban to remote and that travel for education isn’t feasible for all, we've designed a fully online delivery for maximum accessibility. The program content encompasses all essential knowledge for health administrators in addition to having a strong rural, northern and Indigenous focus.
The Master of Health Administration program equips healthcare providers with the foundational knowledge to succeed in managerial and leadership roles in healthcare organizations. Students enrolled in the program benefit from a comprehensive curriculum related to this field and system in Canada including considerations for historical, political, regulatory and cultural differences. Ethical considerations in health care are also a primary focus of the program, which supports the enhanced development of students’ analysis of their own assumptions, values, principles, strengths and limitations. Embedded in all courses is content related to Indigenous health administration, and graduates of the program will gain specialized knowledge about Northern, rural, and Indigenous healthcare organizations. Both theoretical and descriptive content with real-world experience and applications are studied by students in the program which culminates with a capstone project. This program is available to students by distance in reflection of course content offered exclusively online.
The deadline for applications to the program is February 1st for each year for Fall entry. Entry is in the Fall only.
