Master of Science in Health Sciences - Community, Public and Population Health

Wilfrid Laurier University

The Community, Public, and Population Health field examines health challenges through health and social sciences theories and methods. Faculty in this field attend to issues of health equity, the social determinants of health, public health practice, health care access, and population health. With a significant focus on vulnerable or marginalized populations, faculty in this field recognize that health problems are complex and require interdisciplinary solutions. As a student, you will be involved in research that attends to real-world health problems, and will be encouraged to develop skills in several areas, including qualitative or quantitative data collection and analysis, and summarizing complex literature topics in review formats. Students will use these skills to develop their thesis projects and work towards publishing in peer reviewed journals.
