About the School
The Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University is proud of building effective health care teams through our innovative, small group, problem-based learning method of instruction which has won us world-wide renown.
Curriculum
The COMPASS curriculum aims to ensure that our graduates have a good working understanding of biological, psychological and social mechanisms and processes, as well as their impact on health and disease, based on principles of learning drawn from cognitive psychology. Recent evidence from cognitive psychology about how people learn and use concepts suggests specific strategies which are very compatible with the basic approach to problem-based learning. These advances have guided McMaster curriculum planners to develop a curriculum that can ensure that concepts, once mastered, will be available to students when resolving clinical dilemmas. The COMPASS curriculum is structured to allow the integration of critically important fundamental concepts in medicine and affords an opportunity for students to have the time to practice applying these concepts to multiple different clinical problems.
Facilities
Our Faculty thrives on a team approach to health care that goes beyond the tenet of various professionals interfacing with the patient and family. This approach represents a true partnership between the community and the University. Within McMaster's health care group is a broad spectrum of staff, faculty, students, alumni and community supporters, as well as our strong academic hospitals Hamilton Health Sciences, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and St. Peter's Family of Services.

Why no Tier Rankings?
