Ratification de la traduction du titre de CHE en français / Ratification of the translation of the CHE designation into French

(English text below.)

Chers membres,

Le Programme CHE a été lancé en 1984 et a toujours été offert dans les deux langues officielles. Le titre « Certified Health Executive (CHE) », qui fait l’objet d’une marque déposée, n’a jamais été traduit et adapté pour les communautés francophones, contrairement au titre de fellow.

En 2016, alors que le Collège explorait la possibilité d’établir une alliance stratégique avec notre communauté francophone, certains se sont dits préoccupés par le fait que le titre de CHE n’avait pas d’équivalent français. Le Collège a donc fait de la recherche et le personnel n’a pu trouver aucune raison documentée qui aurait pu empêcher la traduction du titre en français. Le Collège a alors procédé à l’étape suivante en discutant avec le Conseil des normes professionnelles (CNP), et sous sa direction et avec les conseils de notre traductrice professionnelle, a obtenu trois titres possibles en français en examinant soigneusement le langage couramment utilisé partout au Canada et les définitions justes de divers termes utilisés par d’autres organisations. En plus, le Collège a consulté un avocat sur la question du droit d’auteur et la disponibilité des trois titres français potentiels.

(Le texte français suit.)

Interested in becoming a Certified Health Executive (CHE™) and building on your skills?

The College is committed to creating and sustaining a learning environment for its members by offering the only Canadian professional designation available to health leaders. The CHE designation has established the College at the forefront of continuing education for health leaders.

Since its inception in 1984, the CHE program has attracted many of the country’s top health leaders. In fact, nearly half of College members have achieved certification. The development of this capabilities-based program was a collaborative effort involving College members from across the country as well board members and staff. Given the constant changes within the Canadian health system, all elements of the CHE Program are regularly reviewed and revised by the CHE Program Committee and the Professional Standard Council. In 2013, the CHE Program was revised to align with the LEADS in a Caring Environment Capabilities Framework.

The new CHE Program officially launches in November 2013 / Le nouveau Programme CHE sera lancé officiellement en novembre 2013

(Le texte français suit.)

Over 24 months ago we began the journey of transforming the CHE ^TM Program. On behalf of the CHE Program Committee, I am pleased to report that we have made it. The new CHE Program officially launches in November 2013!

Every aspect of the CHE Program has been reviewed, revised and updated. Consultation, academic advice, discussions, piloting and testing exam questions were all part of the journey. Aligning the CHE core competencies with the LEADS framework was our first step. Once that was completed, we were able to look at each part of the program and ask: “what leadership capabilities and domain of the LEADS framework should candidates demonstrate in each aspect of the CHE Program?” Having a program that covered all five (5) domains, demonstrated the necessary skills, knowledge and judgement required of leaders in the Canadian health system and was suitable for all members of the College regardless of career stage was essential. Ensuring a good connection and transition from the CHE designation to the Fellow designation was also a key driver for the CHE Program Committee, our sub-committees and working groups (Exam and SDL, Markers and Evaluators, CHE Program Working Group).
