Why study Health, Medicine & Veterinary Studies in Canada?

Health, medicine and veterinary studies cover the science of the body and disease and the professions that diagnose, treat and prevent illness. The subject includes clinical degrees such as Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Physiotherapy and Veterinary Medicine, as well as biomedical and population-health fields such as Pharmacology, Epidemiology and Global Health.

Students study anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology, and in clinical programmes combine this with supervised placements in hospitals, clinics or practices. Communication, ethics and teamwork are taught alongside scientific and clinical skills.

The subject suits students with a strong interest in science and in people or animals, who are prepared for demanding study. Professional healthcare qualifications are regulated country by country, so students planning to practise should check registration and licensing requirements carefully before choosing where to study. Non-clinical routes such as Public Health, Health Management and Health Informatics offer other ways to work in the sector.
