Education

Population and public health cross disciplinary boundaries, and the School’s faculty, staff and students are engaged in research and training that reflects a hub of expertise in a broad range of disciplines.

We work closely with local, provincial, national and international organizations, to provide students with exposure to the public health field through networking with public health practitioners and collaboration with our partners in their facilities. Our degree programs prepare students for career goals focused on either professional practice or research and academia.
