McMaster University’s Faculty of Health Sciences is unique as the only Canadian university that combines, in one Faculty, schools of medicine, nursing, rehabilitation sciences, and the programs of midwifery, bachelor of health sciences, physician assistant and postgraduate health sciences education. This is a specific initiative to train members of the medical team in a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to develop effective and efficient health care.

The Faculty of Health Sciences thrives on a team approach to health care that goes beyond the tenet of various professionals interfacing with the patient and family. It includes a broad spectrum of staff, faculty, students, alumni and community supporters, and our clinical partners and is a true partnership between the community and the University.
