The Health Sciences PhD program is a rigorous, research-focused curriculum that cultivates advanced research capabilities, with special attention to communities facing disproportionate health challenges (including elderly and Indigenous groups). This premier graduate program fosters collaborative research and academic pursuits among students, faculty, and staff, encouraging creative and groundbreaking initiatives.
Hosted by the Health Sciences Department, the program aligns with our mission to generate and share knowledge, enhance health outcomes, and diminish health disparities. By combining practical research, community involvement, and varied educational experiences, we strengthen the ability to analyze and respond to both persistent and emerging health concerns. We aspire to be at the forefront of applied health research and holistic health education, empowering people and communities to reach their fullest health potential. The PhD in Health Sciences incorporates practical applied health research, featuring an immersive Research Internship that allows students to implement their learning in authentic health research environments.
