Experiential Education Courses

This is a non-exhaustive list of some past and current experiential education courses in the Faculty of Health. Please note that in many cases the inclusion of experiential education in a course will vary from year to year, depending on who is teaching the course.

Students can contact the course director to confirm whether the course will incorporate experiential education. Course directors can contact the EE coordinator if they would like their EE course to be listed.
