Physiology & Pharmacology
The B.Sc. Physiology & Pharmacology program replaces the
previous undergraduate program in Physiology. All students who started
year one in the 2008/09 academic year will be expected to follow the
B.Sc. in Physiology & Pharmacology. Students who started their
programs (Year One) prior to September 2008 will be expected to follow
the Physiology program. The Department of Physiology will review any
students who started Year One prior to September 2008 who have not yet
completed a B.Sc. in Physiology and determine on a case by case basis
the courses to be included within individual programs.
The Physiology & Pharmacology program combines two key life
science disciplines to provide a comprehensive understanding of the
functions and mechanisms of actions of the major systems of the human
body, and of the effects and mode of action of chemicals which modify
the major systems of the body. This new degree program leading to a
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Physiology & Pharmacology
provides the strongest foundation for those considering application to
Medicine, Dentistry, Physical Therapy, Veterinary Medicine, Pharmacy
and Nutrition, Nursing, Chiropractic, Occupational Therapy, Optometry,
Speech Language Pathology and other health care related professional
programs. Following a 4-year of Honours B.Sc. degree, students may
also choose to continue on to graduate work leading to a Masters' or
Ph.D. in Physiology or Pharmacology and a career as a research
scientist.
Programs Offered
The Physiology &
Pharmacology undergraduate B.Sc. program is jointly administered by the
Departments of Physiology & Pharmacology. Students majoring in
Physiology & Pharmacology can choose from a 3-year, 4-year or
Honours B.Sc. degree.
