Program overview
Post-Baccalaureate Diploma - Health and Social Impact at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. A two year post-baccalaureate diploma in health and social impact, covering population health, social determinants, programme design and evaluation, health policy and the measurement of social outcomes.
Evaluation capability is the scarce skill across health and social organisations, because funders increasingly require evidence of outcomes rather than activity. One point governs everything else about the health and social impact diploma route: it is a non degree credential, so work permit standing is not automatic and is governed by the field of study rules applying to non degree programmes rather than the exemption degrees receive. Apply Study Visa confirms the health and social impact position in writing before any deposit is paid.
