This course examines the structure and functioning of the Canadian healthcare system in the context of Canadian society, including challenges to the provision of quality care. Students will critically analyze the role of advanced practice in the healthcare system, using the concepts of principled leadership, politics, macroeconomics, and the determinants of health as they apply at the local, provincial, territorial, and national levels. Comparisons with healthcare systems in other countries may also be made. The emphasis will be on application of knowledge to practice contexts.
