Admission requires a four-year bachelor's degree, or equivalent, from a related field such as health sciences, biomedical sciences, biology, biochemistry, physiology, or public health, with a minimum average of 75% over the last two years of study; applicants from related fields such as psychology, sociology, or kinesiology may also be considered, and undergraduate preparation in research methods is expected.
