Digital Health Leadership Certificate

The Digital Health Leadership Certificate is designed to prepare students and professionals in various disciplines for leadership roles in the healthcare information technology workplace. Tasks include managing electronic documentation to improve quality, managing projects, and proposing technology needs for healthcare organizations. The widespread use of electronic health records (EHRs) has created a demand for managers with knowledge of health information technology (IT) and management. Medical and health services managers will be needed to analyze, design, oversee, and integrate these records across areas of the healthcare industry. 

According the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook, medical and health services managers in 2022 earned a median pay of $104,830 per year at $50.40 per hour.  The job outlook predicts 28% growth in this field between 2022-32, which is faster than average.  About 54,700 openings for medical and health services managers are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of the job openings are expected due to the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
