Health Sciences Program

For my post-secondary education, I would like to study in the Health Sciences Program at McMaster university for four years to receive my bachelor degree, and then to follow this, apply to medical school. The reason for why I want to go specifically into the Health Sciences Program at McMaster university is because of its very unique approach to teaching their students the studies of health, wellness, and illness. The program is the only program in Ontario that has a full range of departments within health sciences, including clinical departments of medicine, pathology and molecular medicine, psychiatry and behavioural neurosciences, clinical epidemiology, and biostatistics.
