Population Medicine

The Department of Population Medicine is an international leader in promoting the optimal health and productivity of animal populations, ensuring the safety of foods of animal origin, and preventing animal-related disease in humans. MSc and PhD degrees are offered in the following fields:

  • Epidemiology (MSc thesis option, MSc course-work option, PhD)

  • Theriogenology (MSc thesis option)

  • Health Management (MSc thesis option)

  • Public Health (PhD)

Our research mission is to discover and disseminate knowledge regarding the management of health and productivity of animal populations, and the interrelationships of animals with humans and the environment. In support of this mission we rely principally on our expertise in field-based quantitative observational studies and clinical trials.

Our teaching/learning mission is to guide students as they obtain an essential knowledge base and develop the necessary communicative, quantitative and problem-solving skills to integrate and apply this knowledge; and to instill the appropriate attitudes and abilities required for life-long learning.

The department offers programs leading to MSc, Master of Public Health (MPH), PhD and DVSc degrees.
