foodie2008 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hey you guys! I just wanted to know what your opinions were on Univ of Alberta's MPH program. I am a Canadian citizen raised in the US and just graduated university there as well. I would like to get an MPH in Canada since it is much much cheaper. The only school that has my program ( Health Policy and Management) and has CEPH accreditation (it is in the process right now) is U of A so that is really the only school I am looking into. I would like the possibility of working in the US too so that is why the CEPH accreditation is important to me. The MPH at Simon Fraser and U of Montreal are accredited too, but they do not offer the degree I am looking for. So what do people generally think of U of A's program? How about living in Edmonton? I have lived in the US for so long, I really do not know much about the Canadian schools. What are your opinions on Canada's best schools with the best reputation? Thanks guys!

MaxiJaz Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I Hey everyone, need some advice. I am a medical graduate from Uganda who is looking for competitive Canadian MPH programmes. I have limited knowledge about canadian education system but Intend to apply for graduate school in the coming fall. I will appreciate any advice about this. Thanks guys. I'm starting a more specialized program that's an offshoot of the MPH this September, so I can't give you exact details about an MPH, but as someone who will be starting a similar degree, here are my 10 cents.. I think your decision needs to take into consideration the nature of the MPH program. If there's a practicum aspect or a chance to do research/internships, you should consider schools that are in cities with lots of healthcare opportunities...Toronto is one that I can put out there. Also, I think you should do a little research on the strength of the faculty at different schools. A good place to start (albeit with a lot of discretion) is http://oncampus.macleans.ca/education/2011/10/26/macleans-2011-university-rankings-2/ - looking at the medical/doctoral category. The rankings aren't a true reflection of the strength of particular schools, but a lot of future employers, who aren't familiar with the strength of particular programs are often swayed by 'names'.
