Transformational health starts here
The School of Health Sciences is part of Dal Health. We're one of the largest Faculties at Dalhousie, with eight schools, one college and one program, more than 200 faculty members, 80 staff members, and over 3,000 students.
Our faculty, staff and students are committed to improving the well-being of individuals, families, communities and populations through diverse health programming, collaborative research and strong community partnerships.
Transforming health through collaborative research
To mark Dal's 200th anniversary and invest in the future of our health care system, we created the Scholarship for PhD Studies in Health. Our goal is to attract and retain the best and the brightest students to our PhD in Health program.
Interprofessional Education
The health-related programs at Dalhousie University are committed to providing their students with a wide-range of interprofessional experiences and opportunities.
Many of these activities are centered around the state-of-the art Collaborative Health Education Building, which provides students with an opportunity to learn in an environment that more accurately reflects real world health-care practice.
About Us
We offer nationally accredited entry-level and Post Diploma baccalaureate education in five unique disciplines. We are also the only fully integrated four-year university-based program of its kind in Canada. Learn more about the School of Health Sciences.
