Overview
The Discipline of Public Health offers a comprehensive program in Public Health for health professionals seeking specialist qualifications with vocational relevance. The aim is to enhance their knowledge and skills in ways that enable them to better plan, develop, manage and evaluate initiatives and programs to promote health and prevent disease.
Four Graduate Certificates are offered by the Department of Public Health:
- Health Promotion
- Primary Health Care
- Primary Health Care in Developing Countries
- Public Health Research and Evaluation
All of the Graduate Certificates articulate with the Master of Public Health, allowing students to progress to higher studies in one of the following streams:
- Primary Health Care
- Public Health
- Public Health Research
- Health Service Management
- Public Health Nutrition
- Chronic Conditions Management
- Cancer Prevention
The Masters adds further specialist topics and a practicum. At masters level students may incorporate topics from any of these areas, as well as topics offered in the Health Service Management program at Flinders and by the University of Adelaide or, with approval, other universities.
