Welcome

McMaster University's Faculty of Health Sciences trains physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, health care researchers, physician assistants and midwives to work together in teams, providing the finest patient care.

Our programs cover the spectrum of health care, including the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Rehabilitation Science, Midwifery, a Bachelor of Health Sciences program and Canada's first physician assistants' program.

We are known for innovating small group, problem-based education, with a focus on self-directed, life-long learning, as well as the development of evidence-based medicine.

The McMaster School of Nursing is celebrating its first-ever Canada Research Chair, along with significant funding received for the new Aging, Community and Health Research Unit.

Associate professor Maureen Markle-Reid and professor Jenny Ploeg were the guests of honour for an event June 18 in the Farncombe Atrium.

Markle-Reid was recently named Canada Research Chair in Aging, Chronic Disease and Health Promotion Interventions. Her research will focus on promoting optimal aging at home for older adults with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) and to support their family caregivers.
