Program Details

Health Services Administration School: Dalhousie University Faculty: Faculty of Health Professions Degree: Diploma ; Online Field of Study: Health Services Administration Description: Health Services Administration is a diploma program that prepares students for a career in health care management. The program provides a conceptual background for the increasingly complex managerial tasks that need to be performed in health institutions, agencies, and health-related government departments. Every effort is made to balance political, social, economic, medical and ethical approaches to understanding the health care delivery system with those of the management sciences. Those students who are currently employed in the health care sector will find the program broadens their perspective and provides them with key management skills. The Health Services Administration student is self-motivating and capable of considerable self-direction - in short, a self-starter. A major function of the faculty is to promote and further these attitudes, skills and characteristics. The program is demanding, challenging and rewarding.
