As Canada’s public healthcare system copes with the country’s aging population, health promotion and preventative medicine will be critical to maintaining a productive society and improving the quality of life for all Canadians. Ryerson approaches research in health and well-being from a holistic perspective, examining the physical, psychological, and social well-being of individuals and communities. Multi-disciplinary and cross-sectoral perspectives are essential to addressing the major health concerns of our time.

Ryerson’s healthcare researchers also focus on improving access to healthcare for underserviced groups, on improving efficiency and effectiveness, and on promoting inclusion to enhance well-being. Ryerson’s researchers are helping develop a healthcare system that delivers quality services to all people, when and where they need them.

Innovative approaches to healthcare research come from across disciplines, including occupational and public health, nursing, midwifery, nutrition, health administration, medical physics, psychology, biomedical engineering, and biomedical science. Healthcare researchers at Ryerson are engaged in the community, and Ryerson’s students are embedded in healthcare and social service agencies to develop expertise in their fields.
