Health Sciences student ambassador profiles

What I like most about Health Studies is that it combines courses in both the natural sciences and the social determinants of health, allowing students to be well-rounded and appreciate a holistic approach to healthcare.

The thing I like most about my program is the sense of community. I like how open everyone is to helping each other and asking each other questions.

I like the flexibility my program offers. This program is really great, especially if you know you want a career in the healthcare field but just can't decide which one or don't know yet! Health Studies will definitely offer you some clarity in one way or another.

I love that I have the opportunity to learn about health from a holistic perspective and apply my knowledge both inside and outside the classroom. The program and professors foster an incredible community where anyone will feel welcome and excited to learn!

I love that my program teaches me about multiple different aspects of health and not just the classic sciences. I love that I'm learning how to make health more accessible and make the world a better place through health. 

I like that my program provides me with enough electives to pursue a minor or double major in Psychology!

The thing I like the most about my program is how great a balance it has between the natural sciences and public health subjects. There is also a great amount of flexibility within the program which allowed me to go on a study abroad!

I like how Health Studies is a combination of "traditional science" courses but also adds in public health aspects. The program challenges students to explore how social determinants can impact ones health and challenges us to create solutions at the primary healthcare level.

I love how welcoming and inclusive the professors and student body are. Everyone is always smiling and ready to lend a hand!

I like the tight knit community in the Health Studies program. There is so much room to grow, both inside and outside of the classroom, and further your dreams - whether that be through specializations, research or minors.

The best thing I like about my program is learning health from multiple perspectives and how interesting the courses are. You really get exposed to a more holistic approach to healthcare and you also have the opportunity to choose a specific minor/specialization depending on your interests!

I love the health courses I get to take and explore. I went into University not knowing which path I wanted to take in my career, but through the program I have been introduced to many different fields that exist in the healthcare system that I never knew existed. With co-op as an option, I not only have the opportunity to learn about these fields, but work in them and carve a unique and meaningful career path for myself.
