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.	You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems.	This program combines university-level science study with hands-on paramedic training through a partnership between University of Toronto Scarborough and Centennial College. You earn both a bachelor's degree in biological sciences and a paramedic diploma, preparing you for both advanced emergency response work and further education in health professions. It suits students who want practical clinical skills alongside academic study and plan to work as paramedics or pursue health-related graduate programs.
