Pre-health Sciences: Pathway to Advanced Diplomas & Degrees is a one-year certificate program that allows you to investigate which is the first step in your preparation for a variety of future careers in the health sciences – and specifically lays the groundwork for Northern’s nursing and paramedic programs.

There are many benefits which include:
 
  • Pre-Health is the first step on the pathway to a wide range of careers in health, medicine, and dentistry
  • Pre-Health prepares you for success in professional health science programs in college and university
  • Two distinct annual intakes provides the option to select the delivery mode that works best for you
Graduates, subject to minimum grade requirements, are admissible into the Queen’s Bachelor in Health Sciences (BHSc) program and can receive four first year university transfer credits. Queen’s BHSc program is available entirely online and provides pathways into Dentistry, Medicine, Graduate Studies, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Pharmacy, and Veterinary Medicine.
