Program Website: Graduate Micro-Programs in Public Health
Program Overview
Our Graduate Micro-Programs (GMPs) are non-degree programs tailored to those interested in gaining graduate-level expertise in the health sector. Specifically, GMPs target public health practitioners as well as healthcare providers working in hospitals or long-term care facilities across Canada at the regional, provincial, and national level. Our GMPs specialize in Health Information Management (HIM) and Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC). For a GMP to be noted on an academic transcript, students must successfully complete all required courses with a minimum grade of at least 70%.
Following successful completion of a GMP and with permission from the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs and the Master of Public Health Graduate Program Committee, students may apply to transfer the credits earned toward the MPH degree.
Admission Requirements
Applications will be considered from those with a variety of experiences and qualifications who demonstrate an ability and aptitude to succeed in graduate-level study. While the standard admissions criteria for graduate studies applies (a four-year degree with a minimum 75% average over the last two years of full-time undergraduate study), applicants who do not meet the university’s minimum academic requirements may be considered if they can demonstrate equivalent competencies. Equivalent competencies including additional education coupled with significant and related professional experience (usually 5+ years), and/or substantial and relevant learning and skills development.
Interested applicants should submit transcripts, curriculum vitae, reference letters and a letter of intent with their application.
