Program details
Overview
This one-year post-diploma certificate from SAIT's School of Health and Public Safety prepares aspiring leaders who already have healthcare experience for supervisory and management roles in healthcare settings. Delivery is blended, combining in-person classes at SAIT's Main Campus with online coursework, so it can be studied alongside continued employment. Coursework covers leadership principles, team management, conflict resolution, healthcare communication, finance, institutional governance, service quality, and emergency management and resilience. The program concludes with a capstone project in which students apply their learning to an actual leadership or management challenge drawn from a healthcare setting. To apply, applicants must have completed post-secondary studies at an accredited institution or provide proof of related work experience. Students have up to five academic years to complete the certificate. The program accepts international students but is not eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit.
