What it is	This program teaches you to perform and interpret diagnostic tests on blood, tissue, and other body samples in hospitals and labs. It focuses on the hands-on skills and scientific knowledge that lab technicians use to help doctors diagnose disease. The Northern Access Initiative means the program is designed for students from remote or underserved regions of Ontario, with support to help you succeed in a full-time, lab-based career.	This program teaches you how social systems, policy, and technology shape health outcomes. You'll study both how societies organize healthcare and how digital tools collect and use health data to inform decisions. It suits people interested in the intersection of public health, policy work, and health information systems rather than clinical patient care.
