“The whole field of risk management is expanding and having much more of an impact on my work. I felt that I needed to take a step to learn more, as a way to improve my work and to enhance my value to my organization. I viewed the program as an investment. It allowed me to diversify my skill set and knowledge base, expanding my options into the future.”

“The world of health care is constantly changing, especially given the rapidly evolving impact of patient safety-related regulatory standards and legislative mandates. The knowledge I gained during the program has totally changed the way I perform my job; from my role as a leader working with my management team, as an administrator responsible for clinical outcomes and policy development, to my role as a member of the organization’s corporate management team.”

“I would definitely recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn more about risk management and patient safety in the health-care setting.”
