Graduate Coursework
The Master of Health Studies Program is a 33-credit online graduate program (Athabasca University, 2025). I am completing a course based route and plan to complete this by the end of 2028. You can find more information about the degree program and other options that Athabasca provides click here to visit their website.
MHST 601: Critical Foundations in Health Disciplines-As the introductory course to the Master of Health Studies (MHS) degree, MHST 601 offers a contemporary overview of health in Canada as a basis for your MHS program. The focus of this course is on understanding how to conceptualize, study, and analyze factors influencing the health of Canadians within the context of the Canadian health care system. Students will examine ‘health’ and the foundations of health systems within an inter-professional connected environment. This connected learning will rely on interactions with your classmates and instructor, with your health professional colleagues and mentors, and with professionals and academics around the globe (Athabasca University, 2025)

This course is accessible completely online and has allowed for the opportunity to explore new technology and get to know colleagues from across Canada who have experiences that are different than a career as a registered nurse has provided to me.
