The Graduate Program in Health Law, Ethics and Policy was created in 2001 with a Strategic Training Initiative in Health Research (STIHR) grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). It addresses the global shortage of experts in the field of health law, ethics and policy by facilitating multidisciplinary training and supporting groundbreaking research. The program builds capacity in this field by preparing students to address challenges in health care systems within Canada and across the globe. Students come to the program from all over the world and are trained and mentored by internationally renowned faculty and equipped with world class skills in research, writing and presentation. In their research, students address emerging healthcare issues and graduate to careers in academia, government, non-governmental organizations, and private practice in Canada and abroad.
