The University of Victoria will introduce a new Faculty of Health in May 2025. Aiming to address the demand for health-care professionals and specialized research, this new faculty will build on UVic’s existing strengths in health and wellness while expanding its programs and partnerships. It will also embed Indigenous perspectives in its approach, including by integrating Indigenous health and Indigenous-led scholarship. Six existing schools as well as UVic’s counselling psychology and clinical psychology graduate programs will become part of the faculty. “This transformative change for UVic embodies our vision for a healthier, more equitable future,” said UVic VP Academic Elizabeth Croft. “Through the Faculty of Health, UVic will be better positioned to recruit, train and support students and scholars and empower the next generation of health practitioners, researchers and leaders.”
