About the Program
The School's approach to health and health care education focuses on several themes that address both specific health-related and broader population health issues. At the forefront of this approach is an emphasis on research and scholarship around health and healthcare provision from the perspective of varied populations including women, aboriginal communities, persons with disabilities, and ethnic communities. The professors in the School are internationally recognised in their respective areas. In addition to teaching, each one is involved in extensive research.
Programs in the School are offered throughout the year (fall, winter, summer sessions), over the Internet and via correspondence. In all courses, students are exposed to a broad range of concepts and theories aimed at expanding their knowledge and understanding of critical issues. Read what some of our students say.
The 2009-10 School Handbook will give you details of the courses and programs we offer.
