McMaster eHealth Students Association (MeHSA)

MeHSA acts as the sole representation of all full- and part-time course and thesis-based students from the Master of Science in eHealth (MSc eHealth) program in the Health Sciences faculty department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact. Our executive committee works to promote a sociable environment to foster professional development that all members can benefit from. Our formal events will focus on digital health innovation, education, and networking both within the program and externally, as well as raise awareness and visibility to this growing field.

Our informal social events will aim to foster interpersonal relationships and provide stress relief during academic and professional busy seasons. MeHSA works closely with the executive faculty members of the MSc eHealth program to coordinate events in the best interest of the student cohort. Each year, MeHSA is responsible for two events in the MSc eHealth annual winter seminar series where individuals with professional careers in the eHealth field are invited to speak about their experiences, host a workshop, and network with current students.

The MeHSA executive team also aims to ease the transition of the incoming cohort of students, as well as connect first year academic-focused and second year internship-based eHealth students who may otherwise have difficulty mingling. MeHSA will continue to implement our annual eHealth Alumni Mentorship Program which matches current students with alumni of the eHealth program who have agreed to act as mentors and offer guidance throughout their program journey.
