| Not quite. The rule is that you can't hold two professional licenses at the same time. As you know, the school faculties are separate entities from the licensing college. One gives you the degree, the other gives you the license, so getting a degree doesn't equal getting licensed. Cuz I'm still a student, I can work as an RPh up til the day I get licensed as a doctor.

Sure, we should call the meet "Multidisciplinary Health Professional Rounds". And try and get one of the drug companies to sponsor us with lunch!

I had friends who worked on the weekends as pharmacists during the first few years of med school (when you actually have time on the weekends for that sort of thing), and it helped them a lot with finances.

you missed: Health Policy Advisors/Legislators
Lots of people making big decisions in health care aren't science people at all -- in fact, they're bureaucrats and politicians :P
I'm focusing on health law and policy at the University of Victoria.
Hope we can have some engaging debates on this radically changing field so essential to us all!

^ Cool... so do you work with asthma patients croatian7? Or what type of people do you work with?
You know what? Just looking at the list, i'm surprised there hasn't been a single dietician report in. I'm sure someone's in dietetics or is a dietician on RS... come on

Curious.. is this a law program? What have you learned so far about healthcare?
p.s. You're another good person to know

p.s. You're another good person to know | I think he's referring to the Health Administration program (MHA). I did this program before entering med at UBC and worked at the Fraser Health Authority doing policy work...it's definitely a growing field and the new program at UBC makes it convenient for more older people (ie. doctors/nurses) already working to complete the MHA as it is an executive style program (go to school 1 weekend/month for 2 years).
Here's more info on the program: LINK | |

No, sorry I'm not part of the MHA @ UBC. I have a strong interest in health policy, and so my course focus in my undergrad surrounds that. I'm soon to graduate, so will be off to a law school that specializes in health law.
Most universities offer a few courses on health policy, health law, health informatics etc. Take one or two and see if you like it
What have I learned about healthcare? That's a huge question, but you learn about many things: duty of care, informed consent, therapeutic privaledge, Canada Health Act, Health as a human right?, ethical theories regarding health, euthenasia and other moral dilemmas, doctor/patient relationship throughout history etc.
In terms of the legal realm, there is a lot to know:
fiduciary responsibility, negligence, vicarious liability, assault and battery (yes, these are related to health!), individual autonomy, sections of the charter relating to health (particular s.7, s.15, s.8)
A good start is a browse through the prologue of the Canada Health Act, and then get a good book on the current environment in health. http://www.canadiansocialresearch.net/health.htm
is also a good place to learn.

Also, Timothy Caulfield is a leading author on Health Policy in Canada. I believe he has a new book out regarding this. Check him out, he's from the U of Alberta
