Through this partnership, ONA members will have access to DHGE’s certificates and degree programs — made with industry, for industry — at a more affordable price.  Want to know more about these nurse certificate programs, click here. 

DHGE’s innovative online education programs are unlike any other education options available on the market:  they're built in partnership with some of the best universities in the world and informed and facilitated by industry experts in the field. This way, ONA’s members can earn a credential from a top-tier university they can be proud of while learning relevant skills and tactics they can immediately apply to their roles and gaining CEUs along the way.  

The learning experience in these programs is their main differentiator. Unlike other online educational providers, DHGE starts its curriculum design with the needs of the healthcare industry at the center and with input from experts in the field. Students work hands-on with experiential, real-world problems, examples, and case-studies, designed to mirror how learning takes place and is applied on the job. DHGE’s program facilitators are leaders in the field; they include CNOs, CFOs, and CMOs. DHGE students also have access to 3,300 Regus workspaces internationally (900 in the United States) to have a quiet place to study, or a place to meet up with fellow students.  

“Our students are healthcare professionals who live and work in various communities around the world,” says Andrew Malley, CEO Dignity Health Global Education. “We are very focused on building these programs with the view to promote accessible, affordable, and work-based learning, so people can access education not based on location or economic factors but with a view to quality and career progression.”
