(HP&amp;E)<\/strong> is designed to ask questions and challenge assumptions that everyone accessing health care is treated equally, or has an equitable chance at good health. Equity approaches are concerned with disparities, inequalities and inequities amongst population groups and individuals that are \u201cavoidable, unfair and unjust\u201d (Whitehead, M 1992). The field considers the determinants of inequity such as gender, poverty, age, race\/ethnicity, migration status, and social exclusion. The emphasizes is placed on analysis and promotion of equity in health and policy by examining how societal, economic, political, and social structures and processes influence health and policy. Attention is given to how public policy shapes the social inequalities that cause disease and\/or inequities in the organization and delivery of care. We offer an environment that encourages critical inquiry and debate that aims to expose, critique, and address the societal and system forces that shape health.&nbsp; The interdisciplinary program is social science-oriented and draws upon various disciplines including educational theory, health studies, political economy, philosophy, political science, psychology and sociology, among others.&nbsp; The degrees within this field incorporate an exploration of health and social justice issues at the local, national and international levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>specialized field in Health System Management &amp; Health Data Analytics<\/strong> <strong>(HM &amp; HDA)<\/strong> uniquely brings these two areas together to examine the nature of data and evidence, and the complexity of decision making in the health system context. The WHO defines a health system as all activities whose primary purpose is to promote, restore or maintain health. Health system management focuses on decisions pertaining to how a health system is organized, managed, and delivered. Data Analytics refers to integration of heterogenous sources of data, drawing inferences to enable various types of decision-making. These areas are brought together in this specialized field given the practical reality that health systems are dynamic, complex, open systems that interact with the political and social environments external to those system.&nbsp; Managerial decision making in this context is therefore complex.&nbsp; This specialized field seeks to contribute knowledge regarding both the technological and the socio-political aspects of how health system decisions are made and how system change occurs (or why it sometimes fails to occur). This novel interdisciplinary approach to health sector decision making is vital for improving and sustaining rapidly evolving health systems and draws from disciplines like organizational sciences (organizational behaviour, theory and psychology), information sciences (management, decision making, implementation), and informatics (engineering and data sciences) and also includes critical sociological\/political perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MA students register and complete six 3.0 credit courses: <em>three 'foundational' courses<\/em>&nbsp;taken by students in both specializations including required HLTH 5405 Graduate Research Methods; two from&nbsp;offered <em>field-specific<\/em>&nbsp;courses in each specialization; and <em>one elective<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the Program provides a comprehensive curriculum that incorporates the School of Health Policy and Management\u2019s interdisciplinary perspectives on health policy and equity, health management and digital health.
