Microprogram in Introduction to Health Education

The Microprogram in Introduction to Health Education lays the foundation for the theoretical and practical aspects of health education and allows you to deepen your knowledge in the field while strengthening your leadership.

Note: Please note that the Microprogram in Introduction to Health Education is only available in French and the graduate programs in health education offered in French are different from the Health Professions Education programs offered at the Faculty of Education in English.

The programs in French are offered through a partnership between the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa.

For more information on the joint programs offered by the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Medicine, please consult the Office of Francophone Affairs' website.

Program structure

The program offers courses that can be combined to form microprograms, a diploma, or a master's degree, depending on your background. You also have the option to take a course as a non-degree student and later apply for the diploma or master's program. For a list of mandatory and elective courses, please refer to the registrar's website.

Currently, all courses are offered online, either in the evening or asynchronously for some. They have been designed to meet the needs of individuals with busy schedules during the day.
