Yes, many master's programs in the medical field in Canada are eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), if they meet these criteria:

- Program duration: At least eight months
- Study mode: Full-time
- Institution: Offered by a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)

Common eligible fields include Public Health, Health Administration, Medical Biotechnology, Biomedical Sciences, Nursing, and Healthcare Management.

PGWP eligibility depends on the specific program meeting these requirements, not just the subject area. Policies and the list of eligible programs are subject to change.
