Thanks so much for this information! Firstly, how would you recommend going about finding a research assistant position? I have searched online at my university's job postings and postings from health organizations, but haven't found anything yet. I plan on directly speaking to my professors in the upcoming semester, is there anything I should specifically say? I am currently volunteering at a public health centre, with a basic entry level position (think "porter"), but am looking to secure a better position throughout the next semester. Additionally, I sadly won't be doing a thesis for my undergrad degree.

Hello and happy holidays! I currently have less than a year before I will be applying to masters programs (hopefully attending Sept 2018). What can a undergraduate student do in the remaining time to become an ideal/competitive candidate for a MPH (or similar- MHA, MHS) program in Canada? Of course maintaining a good GPA is a must, so please comment suggestions for areas beyond grades! For my particular situation, I am concerned that I don't have enough relevant experience. While I volunteer in a health centre and have plenty of (unrelated to health sci) work experience, I worry that I will need to take a year or two off to make myself a competitive applicant (while having a 3.7/8 GPA in a honours spec health science degree). I also don't have any research experience, but am not looking at programs that are research intensive. Thanks in advance
