Noo!!! I apologize, no need to be discouraged.. Lots of people in the program have more of an interest in research. The majority are geared towards public health practice, but there are people who prefer epidemiology but didn't want to do a thesis MSc, people who research health systems, research in health disparities and equitable provision, and more. Like any public health degree, it's such an eclectic crowd, and you can always do a research based practicum!

Can confirm - ish hahahaa. I'm starting McGill MScph in Fall 2020, but I was accepted to UofT too. I had a supervisor at mcgill in the department who told me that most successful applicants for the MScph apply with a vision of working in practice-based public health more often than research. But I dont fully think UofTs health promo "limits your options in epi", if you take enough epi-focused electives. I did however choose mcgill because its a little less of a dichotomy and more rounded than toronto's programs MPH in epi vs health promo.

Hi! If anyone is interested in starting a Facebook group for McGill's MScPH, let me know - Being that it will be primarily online, now is as good a time as any to reach out and connect!

Got an acceptance from McGill MScPH over email and uapply today! Good luck to all & let me know if you will be entering the program too!
