A presentation to Senate, May 16, 2016.

Nursing and health care programs at TRU are full and in fact, oversubscribed.

Nursing alone has experienced a 267% intake increase despite turning away three-quarters of applicants. The demand for seats coupled with a growing capacity for research and graduate/specialty programs puts TRU in a strategic position to help address looming labor market shortages in health care.

Dean Donna Murnaghan explains health care by the numbers and shows us the proposed new Nursing and Population Health Building, a shovel-ready $32M capital project that would be occupied by 2018.
