Thank you for this enlightening discussion. Now, does anyone know of an
MSc or MHSc program in HP
that can be completed through distance ed? I am already aware of
University of Alberta's program but it is not entirely distance ed and I am
unsure about the credibility of the Masters of Health Studies from the
Universtity of Athabasca's distance ed. program.
