What do BHSc students say?
“BHSc has charged me to be a better student, friend, and individual. It has provided me with countless opportunities that have allowed me to grow in ways I never imagined possible. BHSc encouraged me to challenge the status quo, to take learning into my own hands. Through an intimate learning environment, I have been able to find myself as well as the passions that drive me in order to make a difference. BHSc has enabled me to become comfortable in my own skin.”
“In this program, I have not only gained knowledge, but I have learned how to… learn. Learning takes patience, re-evaluation, re-prioritizing, critically appraising, genuine curiosity, passion, interest, dedication, renewing motivation, and a group of talented people who encourage you every step of the way. This program is truly one of a kind.”
“I will always be grateful for the amazing opportunities I have had while being in this program. I’ve learned more than I thought possible; I’ve learned the value of self directed learning and of reflection, and I’ve gotten to study what I truly love. BHSc has taught me the meaning of community. I feel supported by my peers and the faculty, and I know that should I need help or advice there’s always someone around to listen. It has been wonderful being part of this program; an experience which will stay with me the rest of my life, wherever I go.”
“I’m happy to have the opportunity to explore health sciences through a interdisciplinary lens in the BHSc program. The diverse course selection offers a variety of topics, ranging from anatomical sciences to ‘soft skills’, such as communications. An extensive network of peer and faculty support facilitates a rewarding learning experience, where no question goes unanswered and no query left unexplored. BHSc is a unique program that offers a well-rounded approach to health sciences.”
“BHSc was a transforming experience both in my personal and professional life. It taught me to be a self-directed life-long learner, to recognize the right boundaries to push, and continually learn, grow, and improve. It highlighted the importance of collaboration, interpersonal relationships, and support for one other. I came into the program thinking ‘we are strong alone’ but learned that ‘we are much stronger together!”
“I feel fortunate to be a part of a program that has broken away from the current instructional education system and instead has moved towards a learning paradigm that encourages divergent thinking.”
