HLSC 5314G - Environmental Determinants of Health


This course explores interactions between environment and human health. It comprehensively addresses principles of environmental health, followed by specific issues regarding harmful environmental agents and Canadian and global environmental health challenges. It is designed to be delivered with the participation of an interdisciplinary faculty team potentially including members from the faculties of Health Sciences, Science and others. It attracts health and non-health graduate students interested in the multifactorial nature of environmental diseases. At the end of this course, students should have a broad understanding of how human health is contextually determined by our environment and be familiar with published seminal environmental health research. Graduate students in this course are exposed to original research that links basic sciences, health and the environment.
