What it is	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.	You study how to identify and solve health problems in communities and populations, rather than treating individual patients. This includes research into disease patterns, policy-making, and public health programs. The co-op requirement means you work in real health organizations alongside your coursework, giving you practical experience in areas like disease prevention, health education, and policy development. It suits people interested in the bigger picture of health and wellness across whole communities, not just clinical care.	You study how the mind and body work together, and how social and environmental factors shape health. This program pairs psychology courses with practical training in areas like human biology, health policy, and social work. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at healthcare or research settings alongside your studies. It suits people curious about mental health, public health, or how systems support people's wellbeing.
