Business of Healthcare Certificate

How to run a healthy, caring healthcare business.

In any healthcare business, whether it’s a doctors’ offices, another medical office, a hospital, or a long-term care facility, you’ll see four walls, windows, and doors, but it’s what’s inside that really matters. As a healthcare business leader, you’ll look out for the health of the business, and just as important, you’ll look out for the health of the people who help people. 

Using business skills and data analysis to guide how you reduce or manage risk and improve efficient care, interpersonal skills guide how you emphasize the care in healthcare. With a UNI Business of Healthcare Certificate, you’ll be prepared to manage the head and the heart to run a healthy, caring healthcare business.
