The WACH program utilizes an umbrella style framework to capacitate a cross pillar program and facilitate the development of translational investigators. It provides for a foundational curriculum for all graduate students, followed by more focused work in one stream, such as Women+ Health, or Children’s Health, or Reproductive and Developmental Sciences (RDS).

The Oak Street campus includes BC Children’s and Women’s Hospitals, the Women’s Health Research Institute, and the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute. Many of the scientists and laboratories of the WACH Program are located here, although the WACH program includes faculty and students around British Columbia.
