There is much support for health promotion in Canada, but not much is known about the various academic programs in this field or of their impact on the practice of community health. A census survey was conducted in 1991 to determine the career paths of graduates of the MHSc program in Health Promotion at the University of Toronto. Findings from the study indicate that the career paths of graduates change following completion of their degree. They are more likely to work in health organizations other than hospital or treatment settings, to have more responsibility and authority in their positions as reflected by changes in job titles and to utilize a wider range of health promotion strategies and methods in their work following graduation. The findings indicate that graduate training in health promotion has a positive effect on the planning, implementation and evaluation of community health programs.
加拿大对健康促进有诸多支持，但对于该领域的各种学术项目及其对社区健康实践的影响却知之甚少。1991年进行了一项普查，以确定多伦多大学健康促进专业硕士课程毕业生的职业发展路径。研究结果表明，毕业生完成学位后职业发展路径会发生变化。他们更有可能在医院或治疗机构以外的健康组织工作，从职位头衔的变化可以看出他们在工作中承担更多责任和拥有更大权力，并且毕业后在工作中会运用更广泛的健康促进策略和方法。研究结果表明，健康促进方面的研究生培训对社区健康项目的规划、实施和评估有积极影响。
