Description:

CHS offers broad, multidisciplinary training at the Diploma (Dip.P.H.), Master (M.Sc.) and Doctoral (Ph.D.) levels in the concepts and methods of the population-based health sciences and their application in the practice of public health and preventive medicine. In addition to training in the core areas of epidemiology, biostatistics and the social sciences as applied to health (anthropology, economics, sociology and political science), students have an opportunity to obtain advanced training in internationally recognized research programs conducted by specialized units within the department such as the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy, the Northern Health Research Unit and the Center for Aboriginal Health Research. As a result graduate students have the opportunity to access both internationally regarded researchers and award winning teachers.
