Dean's Message

Welcome to the School of Health and Human Services (HHS) at Camosun College. I am proud to represent, and be a part of, this School with a shared passion to improve the health and well-being of all people. We strive to provide excellence in teaching, programming, and services that results in positive student experience and success.

Our School delivers quality, inclusive, and holistic education programs that includes theory, skills, and applied/clinical/practical environments. We aim to prepare students to be leaders in careers related to health and human services field. We offer over a dozen programs including certificates, diplomas, university transfer courses, and a post-degree diploma. General areas of study include Allied Health and Technologies, Dental, Human Services, and the family of Nursing programs.

Our faculty are passionate, knowledgeable, and highly qualified in their respective disciplines, and utilize innovative and applied teaching and learning strategies to engage and excite students daily. We provide real world applied learning that includes clinical experiences, field work, practicums, and/or capstone projects at a variety of health and human service facilities, agencies and organizations.

Our student body is as diverse as the populations we serve. We value the unique perspectives that all students bring to the teaching and learning environment and are committed to inclusive and safe spaces for all. With priorities in Indigenization, Internationalization, and Interdisciplinary Education, our programs enhance the health, healthcare, and human service fields with strong connections to community organizations and employers of choice.

It’s a pleasure to work alongside the faculty, staff, and students who are dedicated to building stronger communities and improve people’s quality of life, and a commitment to impact population health, healthcare, and human service sectors.
