Health Sciences

Students can also build an understanding of international health priorities or focus on pharmacology or physiotherapy with a view to further study. The shared outcome is a broad-based education that combines health-specific content (such as population health, public health, primary care and indigenous health) with a selection of professional subjects (such as interpersonal communication, evidence and intuition, diversity and culture), enabling graduates to work effectively in many health care environments.
