Overview

We offer a phd program in Health Sciences at the Simon Fraser University.

Features

Our interdisciplinary approach to research encourages cross-functional collaboration on pressing issues, like global health, environmental health and toxicology, maternal and child health, epidemiology and disease prevention, chronic and infectious diseases, population and public health, mental health & addiction, social inequities and health outcomes, adolescent and child development, reproductive health, and health policy.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The comprehensive paper can include a critical review of the literature relevant to your research question, discussion of theoretical frameworks, or an in-depth analysis of the specific content area.

You will choose your question or topic in collaboration with your supervisory committee.

You will prepare a written research proposal that integrates theory, current research and methods in fields related to your research problem.

Normally, the proposal reviews the relevant research literature, reflects original work and describes methodology appropriate to the principal research question(s).

A written thesis is the final requirement of the PhD program
