Dear Click for HPer's: Since the Graduate Office frequently receives inquiries concerning the availability of our graduates, we are providing, as a service to Click4HP subscribers, short bios of our recent graduates and the means of contacting them. The first such bio follows after a brief description of the program. Since this may be a first for a health promotion list-serve, we welcome your comments concerning this process, and whether you find it useful. The Master of Health Science Program in Health Promotion at the University of Toronto, established in 1979, is currently the only Canadian program specifically offering a masters degree in Health Promotion. We only enrol 10 students a year from over 75 applicants. The program trains professionals to assess the health promotion needs of groups and communities on a systematic basis, design and implement programs that meet those needs, and evaluate the impact on the community of health promotion programs. The program takes a critical perspective towards Health Promotion theory and practice. Our graduates are employed in a range of positions in governmental and voluntary health agencies at the federal, provincial and municipal levels. Our graduates are found at Health Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Health, District Health Councils, Community Health Centres, Social Planning agencies, Public Health Departments, and elsewhere. Examples of positions that they hold are: Community Health Educator, Health Promotion Manager, Community College and University Instructor, Health Promotion Coordinator, Regional Health Educator, and Health Planner and Evaluator.

The MHSc program, including two practicum placements at the Toronto Public Health Department, has allowed Liz to extend her research and evaluation skills in health-related and health promotion contexts.
