Hello! I'm a relatively new RN looking to advance my career with a MPH degree.  I have a social sciences undergrad degree from before my BN as well, and I always knew public health was the general field I wanted to work towards.  I'm really interested in policy development and hope to one day work for a government branch.  

I'm applying to UVictoria and UWaterloo for their online MPH programs.  For financial reasons, and to continue gaining experience in the health care field, I wish to keep working as an RN in my rural town while I study, so full-time and on-campus programs were not feasible options for me.  

BTW, has anyone heard about the Waterloo Master in Health Evaluation program? I was so focused on the MPH degree, but the M.HE degree looks to be delivered in the same way and overall quite similar but just focused on evaluation of health projects and systems.  I'm considering whether to throw that in the mix as well. 

Hi,

Did you end up applying to waterloo mhe program? I have applied to it. I dont think its a new program but I havent heard about it before.

You right , its very similar to mph program but more focussed on the evaluation side.

I debated applying for it but in the end I did not and stuck just with mph.  Sounds interesting though! Maybe if I had had a bit more time to think about it I would have tried.  Perhaps it's easier to get in to that program if there are fewer applicants.

I just got an interview call. Does anyone know what the Toronto mph ( occupational and environmental) interview is like? 

 

I asked about the structure of the interview but haven't heard back yet. Anybody else get called for an interview? 

Do you know if UofT's Social & Behavioural Health Sciences MPH program also has interviews?

Just to let all McGill MScPH applicants still waiting for an admission decision know, I called the admission's office about when results will come out, and they said by end of March. This makes me think more offers will be sent in the next month. Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back! :D

Thanks for the info! It seems like they will send a second round of offers after people decline

Hi,

Has anyone heard back from UofT MPH (Social behaviour)? The SGS website shows the status as under review. Also is there some other place that i should be checking for the decision? 

Thanks!! 

I haven't heard back yet. 

Last year, people didn't get results back until mid-April to late May. SGS won't tell you the result of your application but it will tell you "Decision Made" when the results are out. I believe you will get an email with your result, followed by a letter in the mail.
