Responding to the pressing need for graduates equipped with the knowledge,
skills, and critical perspectives necessary to play decision making and
leadership roles in our increasingly complex and dynamic health care sector,

Management.
The School houses three innovative major programs -- Health Policy, Health
Management, and Health Informatics -- all leading to a Specialized Honours,
Bachelor of Health Studies (BHS).
As an integral element of all three programs, the Bachelor of Health Studies
degree has an optional co-op placement. The Placement provides students with
paid experience in a health related field in either three or four month blocks
during the summer session (May
? July or May - August).

development. The career options associated with the program are Health

Summer Co-Op Placements
Co-op placements are important parts of the Health Policy, Health
Management, and Health Informatics programs. Their overall objective is to
provide students
with paid experience in organizations, agencies, or businesses related to their
program of study. They also offer a chance for students to explore the kinds of
jobs that students may take up upon completion of their degree program.
Placements can be of 12 or 16 weeks duration. It is to be a full time
employment situation by which students are paid from $10 - $15 an hour for a
full 35 hour week. Each placement must be approved by the co-op director.
Both student and employer will be asked to provide a brief evaluative
statement concerning the co-op placement upon completion describing the extent
to which it met the needs of the student and the employer.
