Master of Science in Health Science Education, MSc
This master’s program leads to the degree Master of Science in Health Science Education for health science clinical educators (such as physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, midwives and physician assistants), and others who teach in health science education, research and academic clinical care, and who lead in healthcare settings. The program builds on the internationally renowned signature pedagogies in health science education developed and pioneered at McMaster University’s Faculty of Health Sciences (Problem-Based Learning, Self-Directed Learning). The program will be highly accessible through a blended delivery format of online and classroom formats, with a thesis option. The program will act as a strategy to enhance collaborative, patient-centred care by engaging learners in inter- and intra-professional practice; shape the future of education in health science professional programs; and foster health professions leadership and succession planning.
