- Abstract
Indeed, health geography scholars are in high demand for their capacity to think spatially and to acknowledge the broader determinants of health; the emphases on health, well-being, environments, and place mean that health geographers can deviate and pivot their acquired knowledge and skills to various career options and settings. Keywords: health geography; Canadian Association of Geography (CAG); Canada; géographie de la santé; Association canadienne des géographes (ACG) EN health geography Canadian Association of Geography (CAG) Canada FR géographie de la santé Association canadienne des géographes (ACG) 512 523 12 09/12/22 20220901 NES 220901 Introduction As a sub-discipline of human geography, health geography evolved from its initial construct of "medical geography", which focused on ecological perspectives of disease and in doing so, employed a heavily positivist approach. Given the diverse and evolving substantive, methodological, and theoretical approaches within health geography, this study explores the career aspirations and experiences of health geography graduates in relation to employment within this sub-discipline and aims to help inform the future direction of health geography. Other (25%) related fields that were identified include Indigenous health, immigrant health, climate change and health, non-communicable disease, injury, epidemiology, education, and determinants of health.
