Description

About Western:

Since 1878, Western University has been committed to serving our communities through the pursuit of academic excellence and by providing students, faculty, and community members with life-long opportunities for intellectual, social, and cultural growth.

We seek excellent students, faculty, and staff to join us in what has become known as the "Western Experience" - an opportunity to contribute to a better world through the development of new knowledge, new abilities, new connections, and new ways to make a difference.

About Us:

The Global Health Systems is an inter-faculty professional Master of Management of Applied Science (MMASc) spoke offered through the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and the Faculty of Health Sciences, and Social Science at Western University.

The Global Health Systems (GHS) program is a one-year professional Master degree consisting of eight (8) months of course work followed by a capstone (300 hour) summer practicum.

The program provides incoming students with a cutting-edge curriculum focused on international health, particularly in marginalized populations, while providing the practical skills related to budget and grant management, business development, leadership and grant preparation.

Our professors place a high premium on student participation and engagement.

Infectious diseases, mental health, lifestyle-related, diseases of poverty are emphasized in the curriculum while teaching the key components of health systems, public health as well as associated cultural practices and research ethics.

A key feature of the program is the capstone Field School for a classroom-to-field experience in Africa (generally in May) followed by a two-month summer practicum with placements based on the student's interest.

These experiences enrich the preparation of our graduates and students for project management employment opportunities in health care both in Canada and abroad.

The Global Health Systems mission is to be a leader in international health through the education of students, knowledge mobilization, and the establishment of innovative partnerships with industry, government and other educational institutions in the global community.
