HPME Offers Two New Collaborative Programs

HPME currently offers seven Collaborative Programs, giving Master's and PhD students the opportunity to specialize in a particular area of concentration in a multidisciplinary environment. Programs include Aging and the Life Course; Bio-ethics; Health Care, Technology and Place; International Relations; Women's Studies and, most recently, Health Services and Policy Research; and Cardiovascular Sciences.

Health Services and Policy Research

This program is offered in conjunction with the Ontario Training Centre in Health Services and Policy Research (OTC-HSR), a consortium of six Ontario universities that includes: Lakehead University, Laurentian University, McMaster University, University of Ottawa, University of Toronto and York University. The establishment of the centre is a response to the need for increased numbers of health services researchers to address critical issues in effective and efficient health care delivery (which has been identified as a top priority by national research funding agencies). Its overall goal is to increase health research capacity in Ontario through an innovative training program that builds on existing strengths in university and decision making environments.

Further information and application forms can be found on the HPME website or contact Rhonda Cockerill (rhonda.cockerill@utoronto.ca) or Patty Lindsay (patty.lindsay@utoronto.ca).

Cardiovascular Sciences Collaborative Program

This program will prepare students to specialize in the field of cardiovascular sciences as clinicians or researchers through exposure to joint graduate teaching and research across departments in the Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Physical Education and Health. See the Cardiovascular Sciences Collaborative Program website for more information or contact Dr. Jack Tu (tu@ices.on.ca).
