There’s no time like the present to pursue a career in health science. Demographic changes, growing demand for healthcare services, and pandemic-related trends ensure plenty of health job opportunities throughout the industry.
The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced nearly every aspect of life, including the demand for additional workers in certain fields. As the U.S. population ages and as public health needs change with the COVID-19 pandemic, health science job opportunities are growing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), home health and personal care aide, jobs could grow 33.7% between 2019 and 2029 to help address the needs of aging adults. The ongoing opioid crisis and unmet need for mental health services, both made worse by COVID-19, drive growth for substance abuse and mental health counselors. The BLS projects 24.7% growth between 2019 and 2029 for these health science careers.
When you think about people administering healthcare you might only think about doctors and surgeons. But the truth is that all branches of healthcare and healthcare support will need more trained and qualified workers in the coming years. You don’t have to go to school for a decade in order to be a part of this field.
Dental assistants are part of the expansion, just like massage therapists, sonographers, and physical therapist assistants, among many others. Doctors and surgeons will be needed as well as nurses, however, healthcare is far more encompassing than just these positions.

Degree programs
The School of Health Sciences covers four separate degree programs.
Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc)
The Bachelor of Health Sciences undergraduate degree program has three majors depending on students’ interests. The Biomedical Studies major focuses on the natural and physical sciences. This major would be of interest to students who wish to apply to professional programs, for example, dentistry, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and speech pathology. The Community and Population Health majors, Rural and Aboriginal Health, and Environmental Health, while sharing some of the same core courses as the Biomedical Studies major, will also focus on courses for students interested in administration, health care management, information systems, or public health.
Master of Arts in Disability Management (MA)
The Master of Arts in Disability Management program is intended to provide graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to assist labor, management, insurance providers, and employees with the development of successful return-to-work strategies for injured and/or workers with disabilities.
Master of Science in Health Sciences (MSc)
The Master of Science in Health Sciences program is designed to give healthcare professionals and others interested in the area the knowledge and skills to conduct community-based research as well as an enhanced understanding of healthcare systems and policies.
Ph.D. in Health Sciences
The PhD in Health Sciences is interdisciplinary in nature directly addressing the needs of health science researchers and professionals in BC and beyond. The program format is standard for the doctorate level where the student completes coursework and undertakes research demonstrated with a dissertation of original and innovative research in health sciences; the research is at the forefront of their chosen area. At the doctoral level, the students, through their dissertations, will demonstrate their knowledge of developing and carrying out independent research, synthesizing the work using qualitative and/or quantitative skills, and making informed judgments and arguments based on fundamental theories and/or concepts. The public defense of the dissertation is a key stage for the student to demonstrate the quality of their work through a rigorous examination. The original research will be of high quality to satisfy peer review and merit publication in scientific journals.
