The Faculty of Medicine offers a Graduate Diploma providing an opportunity for professionals and individuals within the health sector to obtain or upgrade their training in Community Health and Humanities or Clinical Epidemiology.

To be admitted to the graduate diploma program a student must be eligible to register as a graduate student, as given under the General Regulations governing M.Sc. degrees. In special circumstances, and upon the recommendation of the Community Health and Humanities, or Clinical Epidemiology Co-ordinator, a suitable combination of training and professional experience relevant to the program may be acceptable for admission.

A Graduate Diploma in Community Health and Humanities requires successful completion of Introduction to Community Health (MED 6220), Epidemiology I (MED 6270), 3 electives, and 2 semester-length seminar courses (MED 6400-6401).

A Graduate Diploma in Clinical Epidemiology requires successful completion of Medicine 6200, 6250 and 6255.
