Child Health

This unique four-year program is for individuals who aspire to have a career working with children in a health-related profession.

We draw on the strengths of the departments of Health Sciences and Child and Youth Studies to explore child health from a multidisciplinary perspective. Students gain an understanding of the physical, mental, emotional and social components of child health.

Our practicum in Child Health allows students to gain practical experience in clinical and/or population-based settings.
