About the Ph.D. in Health Sciences Education
The Ph.D. in Health Sciences Education is a unique, interdisciplinary and interprofessional program offered by McGill University’s Institute of Health Sciences Education (IHSE), within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
This program uses a theoretical approach to guide aspiring researchers in health professions and health sciences education (HSE) to develop the skills to make conceptually informed design and methodological choices in their research projects.
After completing the program, students will join a new, innovative, and fast-growing field in the health sciences, where researchers from a broad range of disciplines contribute practice-informed evidence that advances:
- societal health and well-being
- the quality and safety of patient care
- the education of the next generation of health care professionals.
As Ph.D. students are based at the IHSE, a unit specially devoted to the field in Canada, they will also gain opportunities for networking, collaboration and mentorship, as well as access to research and clinical sites.
The Ph.D. program is offered on a full-time basis at the IHSE, located on the McGill University campus in downtown Montreal.
