The PhD in IHSM offers advanced doctoral-level research training that is built on multiple disciplinary perspectives to understand origins and determinants of health and disease across groups of population.
This PhD in Health Sciences is primarily intended for students likely to pursue their career in academia in these Fields of Study or in departments related to population health, or in research-related positions outside of academia. In addition to nurturing the development of the next generation of health researchers and scientists, the program will provide opportunities for students to build scientific communication capacity with mentoring and teaching skills, thereby becoming educators in their field of professional concentration.
