Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Quality Improvement

Career Outlook

The Healthcare Quality Improvement Graduate Certificate Program was designed for healthcare professionals who primarily practice in the clinical setting looking to advance their careers by gaining practical skills in the principles and science of quality improvement. Through completion of this program, health care professionals will be able to engage in the clinical application and utility of the key tenets of quality improvement to optimize healthcare service delivery. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of healthcare occupations including health information technologists is projected to grow at a rate of 15-17%, much faster than the average for all occupations. This projected growth is mainly due to an aging population, leading to greater demand for healthcare services.

Career paths may include:

  • Health professions manager
  • Health professions administrators
  • Lead clinical practitioners
  • Health professions educators
  • Health education specialists
