An integrated curriculum, a coordinated framework. Instead of a traditional approach—lectures in basic sciences for the first two years, clinical sciences the third and fourth years—you’ll study biomedical science, clinical science, and a third discipline, health systems science, across all four years. By the end of your studies, you’ll understand patients and their care from the cellular to the societal level.
WHAT IS HEALTH SYSTEMS SCIENCE?
Health systems science explores how human relationships influence health. This might include a care team trying to find a solution to an individual patient’s concern, or an entire community working to overcome biases and assumptions in the medical field. You’ll gain a broader vision of how social and economic factors affect health, and how to ensure all necessary resources are available across all societal sectors to improve quality of life.
