Certified Health Care ManagerTM

Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations – Executive and Professional Education and Rutgers School of Health Professions are introducing a credential for health care managers called the Certified Health Care Manager™ (CHM).  The CHM credential addresses competencies that will enable health care managers to maximize the value they add to their respective organizations. The program consists of 30 modules and is delivered in three sections:  The Health Care Landscape; Leadership and Relationship Management; and Business Acumen. Participants who complete the entire program will receive a trademarked and nationally recognized Certified Health Care Manager™ (CHM) designation and have the opportunity to earn nine academic credit hours toward the master’s degree in Health Care Management offered through the Rutgers School of Health Professions. Recertification is required in order to maintain the designation.

Purpose

The health care landscape is complex, dynamic, and performance-based.  Health care managers and leaders need foundational and outcomes-related competencies that will enable them to fulfill their role and maximize the value they add to their respective organization.  The CHM program will help ensure the success of health care managers and leaders, as well as the organizations they serve.

The target audience is aspiring and mid-level managers in health care organizations.  Pre-requisites include a bachelor’s degree and established full-time career in the health care industry.

Health care managers will acquire enhanced critical thinking skills, exposure to experiential case analysis, and an understanding of how to effectively contribute as a health care manager. As a result, those with the CHM credential will also be more marketable to current or to future employers.
