The Faculty brings together experts from social, population and policy sciences, biomedical sciences, and public health sectors who are dedicated to generating new knowledge and applying their skills to improving the health of people in Canada and around the world.Our undergraduate and graduate programs offer our students enriching learning experiences outside of the classroom. We foster adaptability in our students, and encourage them to build connections to ideas and communities through opportunities to work locally, nationally, and internationally. The Faculty of Health Sciences approaches both our research, and our educational programs in a multi-disciplinary way, encouraging researchers, students and professors from different disciplines to collaborate. Our mission is to use this interdisciplinary approach to improve the health of individuals and populations, and to reduce health inequities across the globe.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@SFU_FHS) to keep up to date with what our students, staff, and faculty are up to.
