    Health Sciences

    About

    If you live to help others and take an interdisciplinary approach to healthcare or clinical practice, a career in health sciences may be for you.

    The increasing complexity of health sciences and the health-care industry has placed a growing importance on the skills required of health-care professionals. You will acquire the foundations for excellence in clinical practice along with the lifelong learning, research, teamwork and leadership skills essential for a successful career in the health field.

    This program has an interdisciplinary focus, weaving together physiological, sociological and epidemiological perspectives on major health issues. 

    Two specializations are offered: 

    Human Health Science

    You will learn the fundamental areas of science related to human health and disease, including anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, microbiology and neurophysiology.

    Public Health

    Public Health considers health from the perspective of communities—from a neighbourhood to national and international levels. You will learn about the health status of populations, inequities in health, determinants of health and illness, strategies for health promotion, disease and injury prevention, health protection, and factors that influence the delivery and use of health services. 

    Students in all Health Sciences programs can apply for a fourth-year Research Practicum that extends throughout their final year of studies. Working under the direction of a research tutor, both university- and community-based, you receive a practical experience that exemplifies the collaborative research process while providing you with a valued opportunity to apply your knowledge in a research setting.

    1. Apply online using the OUAC website using the 105 application.
    2. Be sure to apply by the application deadline for the program to which you want to be admitted—you can choose up to three programs.
    3. Once the university receives your application from the OUAC, we will send you information regarding the next steps in the admissions process.
