Breakthroughs in the health sciences offer tremendous hope to patients and the public. But with progress, new sets of legal, regulatory and ethical challenges emerge. Innovation in science requires matching innovation in regulation and governance, and researchers and decision-makers rigorously trained to work across disciplines and to translate knowledge in both domestic and international health policy contexts. The University of Ottawa’s new Masters in Health Law, Policy and Ethics is designed to train students to meet the pressing challenges faced by health policy-makers, such as growing health care budgets, Canada’s aging population, new disease threats, and the emergence of new forms of care, such as medical aid in dying. The University of Ottawa Faculty of Law offers students both the largest concentration of health law faculty and the broadest selection of health law courses in Canada.
