The HPME graduate program offers three concentrations leading to the PhD degree: 1) Clinical Epidemiology and Health Care Research; 2) Health Professions Education Research; and 3) Health Systems Research.
Applicants may enter the PhD program via one of two routes: 1) following completion of an MA or MSc degree; 2) transfer from the University of Toronto MSc transfer program.
The PhD program can be taken on a full-time or flexible-time basis. Some applicants may be admitted to a flexible-time PhD option with approval of the Graduate Chair. The flexible-time PhD option benefits mature students with career and/or familial obligations. The degree requirements for the flexible-time PhD option are identical to those listed for the full-time PhD option.
