AGHE PhD Students Attend Frailty Network

Our Students

Our students work in a mix of settings: hospital, community settings, the health services planning sector, or the health research sector. They are at various career stages: some people are only a few years into their careers and others are a couple of decades into their careers. Most of them across the cohorts are based in Canada, although from very wide geographic diversity, from Vancouver in the west, to Prince Edward Island in the east, and many points in between. The program is available to international students.
