      <\/div>\n
      Can I take a double concentration or a minor?<\/a><\/dt>

      <\/p>\n

      The BHSc at 杏吧原创 University was designed to allow students to customize their course selections based on their interests and future career goals. In addition to the core courses required for each concentration, students have required breadth courses that allow them to explore health courses from other concentrations. Using their electives, students can take either a double concentration or a minor in other programs. Unique and highly marketable minors include Math and Stats, Business and Communications.<\/p>\n

      <\/p><\/dd>

      <\/div>\n
      What types of placements have been offered through the program? <\/a><\/dt>

      <\/p>\n

      The types of placements vary somewhat from year to year. Last year we had students working at the Children\u2019s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the Sport Medicine Clinic (杏吧原创), the Public Health Agency of Canada, Health Canada, the Ottawa Police Service and at a community addictions peer support association. Next year we will also offer international placements in Guyana (focus: mental health), India (focus: biomedical\/biotech or aging research) and Jamaica (focus: surgical interventions)<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n
      What is the difference between Health Sciences and Biology?<\/a><\/dt>

      <\/p>\n

      The Health Sciences program focuses on human form and function and explores biomedical, psychosocial and political issues that affect human health and disease. In contrast, Biology studies all living organisms \u2013 what they are made of, where they live, how they evolve, behave, reproduce, grow and develop.<\/p>\n

      <\/p><\/dd>

      <\/div>\n
      What have students from the program done after graduation?<\/a><\/dt>

      <\/p>\n

      Graduates from our program have gone on to medical school, nursing, pharmacy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, midwifery and law school. Several are working at government departments and agencies or in research labs<\/p>\n

      <\/p><\/dd>

      <\/div>\n
      What concentration will best prepare me for medical school?<\/a><\/dt>

      <\/p>\n

      All concentrations will prepare you equally well for medical school and provide a strong foundation in biomedical sciences. We suggest that you pick the concentration that you are most interested in, to ensure your academic success in the program. All concentrations have enough flexibility built into the program to allow you to take the various courses required for entry into medical school (see document in HS folder).<\/p>\n
