Overview

Key Facts of the Population Medicine program of University of Guelph

We embrace a holistic definition of health that includes physical health, welfare, and productivity of animals and the physical, mental, and social well-being of humans. We help students build foundational knowledge and skills while fostering continuous self-directed and collaborative learning and discovery. We answer the call of society for advice and action in our areas of expertise.

Our research mission is to discover and disseminate knowledge regarding the management of health and productivity of animal populations, the health of human populations, and the interrelationships of animals, humans, and the environment (i.e., One Health). In support of this mission, we rely on a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods and knowledge synthesis tools to conduct observational studies, clinical trials, simulation studies, and reviews of human and animal health research.

Our teaching/learning mission is to guide students as they obtain an essential knowledge base and develop the necessary communication, analytical and problem-solving skills to integrate and apply this knowledge; and to instill the appropriate attitudes and abilities required for life-long learning.
