Le Moyne Health Care Leadership Graduate Level Certificate Program
The Evolution of Healthcare
Health care is one of the fastest-growing segments of our economy and it demands adapting to changing social forces just as rapidly. Revolutions in patient profiles, governance and finance require leaders in health care who are capable of managing multiple variables, championing change and cultivating efficient operations.
Health care managers must be leaders who are well-informed, collaborative and flexible. Le Moyne College’s certificate program in leadership in health care provides students with the opportunity to explore contemporary health care within the context of excellence in leadership and to develop the skills necessary to move health care, patient satisfaction and human resources forward through the 21st century.
Courses & Requirements
Five classes are required to complete the certificate program. Through their coursework, students will analyze current issues and challenges in the health care field and develop the skills necessary to anticipate and address future challenges facing health care operations and patient care. They will be introduced to the business and social forces shaping the need for creative and revolutionary approaches to health care.
Coursework will address issues such as management, cultivating leadership skills, ethics and legal issues in health care. The intent is to create a community of colleagues involved in learning and practice who will develop their capacity to be leaders in the health care field. This academic environment serves as a gathering place for professionals to share practices and challenges.
Courses are offered in a variety of formats from traditional on-campus delivery in the evenings to a blended format combining campus-based instruction and distance learning via Blackboard.

This certificate will enhance the knowledge and skills of those individuals who want to make a difference in the future of health care.

Community Health Experience Program
The Community Health Experience Program (CHE) was developed through a partnership with the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and collaboration with the New York Metropolitan Regional AHEC office and the three AHEC’s serving New York City; (Brooklyn/Queens/Long Island AHEC, Bronx/Westchester AHEC, and Manhattan-Staten Island AHEC). This program is a six-week summer program geared towards medical school students who have completed their first year, and are interested in obtaining exposure to diverse community and public health experiences.
The Metro AHEC’s place students in various community based health and health related organizations that would not only expose them to underrepresented populations, but give them a hands-on approach to becoming aware of an array of issues and concerns, affecting health of the community.
Given that their academic training in medical school will focus on science and clinical medicine, students are strategically placed in non-clinical settings to enhance their learning experience. The Metro AHECs believes that health professionals with an understanding of community health issues will have a great impact on minimizing healthcare disparities in the future. In addition to placement in community organizations, students are also provided a didactic lecture series once a week, which covers different community/public health centered topics and field trips.
The Metro AHECs are looking to expand the Community Health Experience Program to other health professions schools and community organizations. If you are interested,
please contact any of the three Metro AHECs for more information:
