Certificate in Diversity Management
The Certificate in Diversity Management program is a partnership between the AHA’s Institute for Diversity in Health Management andSimmons College in Boston. The 12-month blended program seeks to lessen health disparities and improve health care workforce diversity by providing skill, leadership and career development opportunities for practitioners in diversity management. Designed to meet the needs and schedules of working professionals, the curriculum was developed by the Institute’s American Leadership Council for Diversity in Health Care. It includes three on-site residencies, online forums and opportunities to interact with experienced practitioners. By the conclusion of the program, each participant will have developed a Diversity/Disparity Action Plan: a road map for the substantial change needed to address disparity and diversity issues in each participant’s institution and community.
