The Doctor of Philosophy in Community and Population Health Sciences, offered by the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology at the University of Saskatchewan, is a thesis-based program for researchers and professionals pursuing careers in health and policy. It examines what drives health across communities and populations, preparing graduates for academic careers or work in health and policy settings. Through coursework, seminars, and a dissertation, students build skills in community engagement, epidemiology, biostatistics, research methods, health promotion, and evaluation, applying them to population health, evaluation of health and social interventions, and health policy. Supervising faculty conduct research spanning Indigenous health, global health, health services research, food security, social epidemiology, and chronic disease management. A confirmed faculty supervisor is required before applying, and admission is highly competitive. The program has an expected length of four years and is delivered in person, with a minimum funded stipend available to PhD students.
