York University Faculty of Health was founded in September 2006. Led by Harvey Skinner, it is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is part of York University campus of 50,000 students. The Faculty of Health, with 8,800 undergraduate students, 680 graduate students and 400 faculty members, consists of five units: Health Policy & Management (including Health Informatics), Kinesiology & Health Science, Nursing and Psychology. Stong and Calumet Colleges are also affiliated with the Faculty. Additionally, the Faculty has launched Health Leadership and Learning Network, a continuing education unit focusing on various issues of interest including inter-professional care. Internationally, the Faculty is collaborating with major institutions such as the Rajasthan University of Health Sciences in India, the Chongqing Public Health Bureau in China, and in the Middle East (e.g. Tel Aviv University, Al Quds University, Jordan University of Science and Technology). == Academic & Continuing Education Units == The Faculty of Health offers a range of undergraduate, graduate and certificate education programs, as well as engages in integrative basic science, applied research and knowledge mobilization. The academic units, two colleges and Health Leadership and Learning Network form the core of the Faculty of Health’s integrated model for linking undergraduate, graduate and continuing education programs. *Department of Psychology offers courses taught by faculty who are largely internationally recognized scholars. There are also evening and summer programs designed for working students who wish to pursue their studies on a part-time basis, and a special program in rehabilitation administered jointly with Seneca. The undergraduate program offers BA and BSc degrees and the graduate program offers MA and PhD degrees. *School of Kinesiology & Health Science offers an undergraduate program (BA and BSc) with two certificate programs in Athletic Therapy, and Fitness Assessment and Exercise Counseling. The MSc/PhD Graduate Program includes three specialization areas: Integrative Physiology, Neuroscience and Biomechanics and Health and Fitness Behaviours. *School of Nursing prepares nurses for practice (both entry to practice and advanced practice); and integrates knowledge into practice. The teaching approach goes beyond the purely biomedical model to focus on the development of the theoretical, scientific and philosophical knowledge of human caring. The School offers three BScN undergraduate degree programs: Collaborative Program with Seneca and Georgian Colleges, 2nd Entry, and the program for Internationally Educated Nurses. Also, the School offers both online and blended learning versions of the Master of Science in Nursing (MScN). Planning is underway for a doctoral research training PhD program. *School of Health Policy & Management offers a Bachelor of Health Studies program with three honours majors: Health Policy, Health Management and Health Informatics with 90 credit programs in same; a Certificate in Health Informatics. At the graduate level, the school houses a unique MA/’PhD in Critical Disability Studies – the doctoral program is one of only two in North America (other at University of Illinois, Chicago). Recently, a distinctive interdisciplinary MA/PhD program began implementation in September 2009 with two initial fields: i) Health Policy and Equity; ii) Health Informatics and Decision Support. *Health Leadership & Learning Network is the Faculty’s new unit for continuing education and professional development, offering customized and open learning opportunities, convening, networking programs and consulting activities.
