What it is	You study how to assess, care for, and support patients across hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This program combines classroom learning in anatomy, physiology, and nursing theory with supervised clinical placements where you provide direct patient care. It suits people who want hands-on healthcare work, can handle emotional demands, and are comfortable with responsibility for others' wellbeing.	This program teaches you how health systems, policies, and technology work across different countries and communities. You study international development, social policy, and health informatics — how data and technology shape healthcare delivery worldwide. The co-op option lets you work for four to eight months at a health organization while earning course credit, giving you real experience alongside classroom learning. It suits people who want to understand global health challenges and see how policy and technology can address them.	This program teaches you how health systems actually work — covering everything from how hospitals are run and data is managed to the policies that shape who gets care and how. Unlike pure health science programs, you'll focus on the business, technology, and policy side of medicine rather than clinical practice. It suits people interested in health but drawn to organization, technology, or social systems more than direct patient care.
