Healthcare Supply Chain Management Professional Certificate Program

A program designed for healthcare professionals

In partnership with Miami University, Farmer School of Business, this program was created to educate healthcare professionals, both clinical and non-clinical, on supply chain practices specific to the industry.

From a business perspective, healthcare is unique and rightfully so. Supply chain practices that work well in other industries might not translate completely. This certificate offers a strong introduction into supply chain operations management (SCOM) while also considering the realities of what it takes to deliver patient care.
