Description
Health Sciences is a wide-ranging field which uses knowledge from many disciplines to understand and improve all aspects of human health. At Langara, Health Sciences focuses primarily on public health, a branch of medicine that explores the causes of variation in health within and between human populations, with the goal of developing and delivering effective interventions to reduce health inequity and inequality locally, nationally and internationally.
Our program is rooted in epidemiology, the core science of public health. Epidemiology provides a framework and tools to enable health professionals to describe population health, develop hypotheses to explain observed differences, test hypotheses, and ultimately develop, implement and evaluate interventions based on high quality evidence.
