MassHealth via Commonwealth Corporation is partnering with Southern New Hampshire University’s College for America to deliver their existing Healthcare Management Fundamentals Certificate program to individuals who work at MassHealth ACOs and CPs and their participating provider entities. This program is delivered by SNHU’s College for America department, which manages its competency-based education (CBE) programs.

CBE learning is based on developing and demonstrating competence, so prioritizing what a student can do over how much time they put in. Southern New Hampshire University’s College for America competency-based curriculum is made up of real-world projects which count toward skills-based “goals.” CBE programs at SNHU blend academic content with the soft skills and core competencies that employers are looking for.

Healthcare Project Planning was my favorite course! I was able to better organize myself in the committee that I am a part of. I found that this course made me more aware of all the moving wheels that go into projects at my workplace and I have been able to provide better feedback and brainstorming ideas in my committee meetings.

The projects have let me take ideas and turn them into different ways that I can make my workplace better, not just for myself, but for my colleagues too.

These classes have taught me how to look at information with a more critical add. I’ve also learned it helps to be row detail-oriented and really look at what is being asked of you.

Spreadsheet Applications to Interpret Information and Draw Conclusions was the most helpful course that I took in the certification program. While I thought I had a general knowledge of spreadsheets, I was able to learn a lot from the formulas needed in this class. I have since applied these formulas and this course to the work that I am doing, and it has saved me a lot of time, as well as helped me better organize my information.

Commonwealth Corporation is a quasi-public agency that was established in 1996 under the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development.
