What Ontario Tech University says about their program:
As a research-based degree, students, in the thesis stream, will combine work, seminars, and independent research to achieve the program’s core objectives. Required courses, Intermediate Statistics for Health Sciences or Qualitative Methods in Health Research and either Studies in Community, Public, and Population Health (Community, Public, and Population Health), Studies in Kinesiology (Kinesiology), or Multidisciplinary Perspectives in Health Informatics (Health Informatics), lay the foundation for more focused course work and independent research under the guidance of a research supervisor and supervisory committee. By virtue of the strong research foundation and substantive training obtained throughout their education, graduates from the MHSc Thesis program will be well prepared to take on higher-level roles within the health profession, seek funding for projects or research to be undertaken at their workplace, or pursue a PhD in a research-oriented health sciences or related program.
