What Should I Expect from the Health Care Management Program?

Chabot's Health Care Management program is the only program of its type among community colleges in the Bay Area. The program is specifically designed for those currently working in any healthcare position that would like to advance into management. It’s also very helpful for those working outside of healthcare, but in relevant fields such as accounting, information technology, secretarial or office management, social work, human resources, and other fields that would like to transition to the rapidly growing field of health care.

Why Health Care?

 In 2008, the U.S. economy lost more than 2 million jobs.  In that same year, health care employment increased by 372,000 jobs.  Health care employment growth is expected to continue for at least the next decade.  While many of these employment opportunities are in clinical or clerical positions, the growth in supervisory or management positions parallels the growth of the overall employment sector.   Simply put, there are great health care management opportunities for qualified candidates.

What's Included in This Program?

The curriculum provides an introduction to key management and human resource concepts; law, finance, and leadership courses focused on the healthcare organization; and the development of communication skills required for management success. The Health Care Management faculty includes both experienced Chabot business instructors who are expert at general business and human resource management and business communications, along with faculty with specific health care industry experience.  You’ll be taught by faculty that know this industry.

All courses in this certificate are offered online.
