York University (Toronto) Faculty of Health initiates Health
Leadership & Learning Network

The Health Leadership & Learning Network (HLLN) is an innovative new
unit within York’s Faculty of Health which will offer programs and
services for customized programming, open learning programs,
consulting, convening and networking.

In other universities with health science faculties, this division is
typically called continuing education or professional development,
and although the HLLN will serve similar functions, such as providing
courses for professional upgrading and maintenance of certification,
it will also have a broader and more distinctive focus.

The scope of the HLLN will be local, national and global. It will be a
central part of the Faculty of Health’s integrated education model for
linking undergraduate, graduate and continuing education programs. The
HLLN was created to respond to a number of important needs and
opportunities, including the need of health care professionals to
have access to continuing learning opportunities to support
certification.

In addition, there is a critical need for new and responsive
leadership development approaches to address health system
transformation. The HLLN hopes to do this by building networks of
like-minded people who want to make a difference.
