Community Health Care equips students with essential skills and knowledge to navigate today's evolving healthcare landscape and help individuals maintain healthy lifestyles. This interdisciplinary program integrates biological, sociological, cultural, psychological, and developmental viewpoints. The three-year Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHealSc) with a Community Health Care specialization prepares students to play vital roles in modern healthcare approaches. This practical degree emphasizes developing competencies to assist patients, populations, and communities in health promotion and optimal care access.
