First Nations University of Canada Pre-Health Studies Program The Pre- Health Studies program is a partnership between the First Nations University of Canada and the University of Regina Faculties of Kinesiology & Health Studies, and Arts. Students enrolled in the Pre-Health Studies program through Northern Campus can use the first year of courses to apply to the Bachelor of Health Studies, the Bachelor of Kinesiology (Regina), the Bachelor of Sport and Recreation Studies (Regina) and the Bachelor of Arts Programs, or to nursing programs in Saskatchewan. As health-issues continue to dominate public policy choices, this program will prepare students with the first year of electives to eventually meet many of the health care needs facing Saskatchewan and Canada. Examples of courses offered in the pre-health studies program are: English, Biology, Chemistry, Nutrition, Psychology, Sociology, Indigenous Studies, Indigenous Health Studies, Statistics, and Kinesiology. Not all courses listed are required for each program; students tailor the courses to meet their academic interests. The Bachelor of Health Studies aims to provide students with an integrated understanding of the ways in which social, economic and cultural determinants of health shape individual beliefs, attitudes and practices, and how these affect how individuals function. Students will be provided with a solid foundation on which to pursue careers in health-related professions, various areas of health policy or analysis, or advanced research and study of contemporary health issues. The degree will also be of interest to those who wish to pursue public policy careers in the health areas, with community-based organizations, public health education and planning or those who wish to study health-related issues in other academic programs such as journalism or law. Further, it will provide an excellent background for students who may wish to further their education in such areas as nursing, social work, or medicine. Moreover, it will provide a strong background for students considering a variety of graduate degrees.
