INSTITUTE OF POPULATION HEALTH

The University of New Brunswick views population health in all its forms, as well as the need for innovative models for the provision and delivery of healthcare as critical needs across the province.

Among the many things the IPH would do would be to inform best practices with respect to healthcare responses in the province and the larger region, through awareness raising activities, advocacy, education and training, and various aspects of research activity.
