Overview
The graduate programs listed above participate in the Collaborative Doctoral Specialization in Health Care, Technology, and Place (HCTP). The objectives of this collaborative specialization are to:
- Prepare doctoral students to understand, explain, and improve health outcomes associated with technologically mediated health care.
- Bridge knowledge gaps among doctoral students working in the life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities who are concerned with innovative technologies, diverse settings, and complex work and personal practices of modern health in Canada.
- Provide mentorship in interdisciplinary research and scholarship, including leadership skills, negotiation and collaboration, grant writing, and knowledge transfer. Ultimately, the goal is to facilitate research conducted by scientifically informed humanists and philosophically informed physical and social scientists.
Students who wish to enrol in the collaborative specialization must apply to and be admitted to both the collaborative specialization and a graduate degree program in one of the collaborating graduate units. Applicants may apply concurrently to the participating home graduate unit and to the HCTP collaborative specialization. Students follow a course of study acceptable to both the home unit and the HCTP collaborative specialization.
Upon successful completion of the PhD degree requirements of the participating home graduate unit and the collaborative specialization, students will receive the notation “Completed Collaborative Specialization in Health Care, Technology, and Place” on their transcript.
