Your Career
According to the Conference Board of Canada, the health-care sector, consisting of health-care organizations; health education and research; health and life sciences industries (including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, medical informatics); and government employs many thousands of people in Ontario. It is a major factor in the productivity and the growth and strength of the economy. In Ontario, for example, over 40 per cent of total program spending by the provincial government has been allocated to health and long-term care since the 2018 Ontario Budget plan and the upward trend has continued since.
Graduates of our program may expect employment prospects for work within a variety of settings. Opportunities can be found in hospitals, medical offices, community care organizations, public health, benefits administration and insurance, health-care consulting firms, professional services firms, professional associations, think tanks, and government. Graduates of the program will be well-positioned to respond to the needs of the sector with strong academic and applied knowledge in the principles of business and their application to the unique issues and demands of the health sector. While the majority of jobs are in operations, graduates will also be prepared to work in analytical jobs in the areas of consulting and health policy, as well as business development and advocacy.
