My health studies courses have certainly expanded my worldview on a personal and academic level. Not only have I gained a deeper understanding over how closely our health is connected to our location in society, both biographically and geographically, I have been supplied with numerous reference points that highlight the significance of these relationships locally and globally, specifically in connection to our health and well-being. I feel well prepared to pursue any area of interest that pertains to health and/or healthcare related issues.
The degree has greatly built a foundation for my future career and personal developments. It motivates and encourages me to embark on a self-learning journey that I would not have started otherwise. I was also able to explore different topic areas that were quite interesting to me personally while doing my undergrad, which helped in my personal research that really contributed to my career path.
The specialist option has been the most beneficial aspect of my program ... the additional training in econometric theory has helped me progress along the career path I want to pursue. It has also given me an advantage in the job market.
