The Environment and Health (EH) program complements the collaborative program in Environmental Studies while adding a distinct focus on the interplay between the outdoor environment and health status. The health implications of human impacts on the environment cover a very broad range of issues including: air and water quality, contaminated land and shifts in the distribution of vector-borne diseases (related to changes in land-use, climate and human migration). The EH program provides students in the health sciences with a broad environmental perspective while at the same time exposes environmental studies students to the health implications of environmental quality. This program may also be of interest to students who are concerned with sociological and policy approaches to the field of environment and health.
NOTE: NO ADDITIONAL FEES ARE REQUIERED FOR ENROLLMENT IN A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM AT THE CENTRE FOR ENVIRONMENT.
