特点及课程设置
The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in the field of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly Community Nutrition) offers students the opportunity to develop expertise in nutrition practice from a wide range of perspectives within the health system, from disease prevention to palliation. This MPH has been accredited by Partnership for Dietetic Education and Practice (PDEP) and prepares students for eligibility for registration with a provincial dietetics regulatory body. This program is offered through the Division of Clinical Public Health in the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. It is administered by the Graduate Department of Public Health Sciences in partnership with the Department of Nutritional Sciences, the University Health Network and Toronto Public Health.
课程设置介绍:
Students are required to complete 10.0 Full Course Equivalents (FCE) within the maximum time limit of 3 years as a full-time student. Most full-time students complete their degree within 2 years. The 10.0 FCE include a series of MPH degree-required courses, Nutrition and Dietetics field-specific courses, and practica, as well as electives chosen by students. Elective courses may be selected from other Public Health fields as well as other University of Toronto departments with the Program Director’s approval. All students are enrolled in CHL5004H Introduction to Public Health Sciences in the first year of study. This course begins earlier in September than regularly scheduled graduate courses.
